Thom Filicia, arbiter of all things cool and cozy in home decor, first introduced me to the canopied wing back chair in his interior design book, Thom Filicia STYLE. Filicia describes canopied wing backs as “personal cocoons of coziness” and, I must say, after sitting in one myself this Christmas, I couldn’t agree more.  In a way, these chairs remind me of a more traditional take on the Lee West Stereo Alpha Egg Chair, surrounding the sitter with a roof and two walls, safeguarding from the rest of the room.

In the case of these canopied chairs, the burlap upholstery balances out their stateliness.  And, though the chairs are certainly the focal point of this conversation area, the southwestern saddle blankets definitely complete the look.  The two featured on this table-scape are more reasonably priced than their authentic forefathers and are from Urban Outfitters.

Thank you to Susan Larsen for sharing her Arizona dining room with us here at the LoftLife blog!
