What is a wingback sofa?
1 Answer

A wingback sofa or chair has extensions from the back that wrap around the sides partially creating a sort of wing that branches out of the back. Often the wings extend down and then form the arms of the chair or sofa, but not always. Shop a collection of wingback furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
