A high-back chair, also known as a high-back armchair or wingback chair, is a type of chair with a tall backrest that extends above the head of the person sitting in it. These chairs are designed to provide support and comfort for the back, neck, and head. The high backrest often has "wings" on the sides that can be used as armrests or to provide additional support for the upper body.
High-back chairs are often considered both functional and stylish. They are commonly used in living rooms, libraries, and formal sitting areas, where they can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the decor.
