High-back chairs can give you a private, intimate space in which to relax and enjoy a quiet moment. They make a striking design statement with their elegant and elongated height and look just as good seen from the back as they do from the front. Although these chairs are often designed and specified for public areas, receptions, or break-out spaces, they can look just as good at home. And if you're trying to fight back pain, this style of chair might be one to consider. Take a look at these eight contemporary types of high-back chairs and see if one (or two) is right for you!

Sleek contours and faux leather upholstery on metal legs give this long-back chair its modern design. The leather comes in black, charcoal, cognac and four other colors and all sit on black legs.

Designer Advice:
Everything about this living room high-back chair says drama and elegance. The updated wingback design has a tight back with a single tufting detail and a slanted armrest. The unique A-shaped leg design gets an extra touch of extravagance with its gold finish. The leatherette material is smooth and comes in a cream or slate color. We can just picture this chair at the head and foot of a dining table, but just note it is heavier than a standard dining chair.
Contemporary High Back Hedge Armchair
Blu Dot
Upholstered in a soft poly blend fabric, you can choose between a charcoal black, darkest forest green, taupe or a cardamom yellow color for this modern high back chair. The splayed chair legs are powder-coated steel and are color-coordinated to match the fabric. At 50" high by 39" wide, you will need a minimum door width of 33" to fit the chair through.
Designer Advice:
We love how this modern high-back hedge armchair cocoons you into your own private world. When faced directly into your room, it can easily become part of a conversation area, but we picture it tucked into a corner somewhere away from the general area. The seat measures 39" by 33" deep which is generous enough to let you curl your legs under you and fully rest your head and back against the wrap-around sides.
