I have no experience with a wing back style chair. If you look at the photos in my earlier post you will see the Ekornes swivel type recliner I use. You will also see the acoustic screen panels arranged to either side of my head area.
In any case the reflections that may result from an occupied leather chair are still dwarfed by the majority of those coming from walls, ceiling and the floor.
Rooms must be properly treated unless the preference is to live in a hall of mirrors!

For purposes of this conversation, it doesn't matter if the chair is occupied or not. It's true that a single chair is a small contributor to the ambient sound of the room overall, but, if you're sitting in it, you have surfaces which are very reflective at high frequencies very near your ears. As I wrote previously, this may or may not bother the chair's occupant. Some folks' hearing is down 15-20 dB at 10 KHz, so they might appreciate a little extra reflection. :)With regard to seating in concert halls, you'll often/usually see chairs which are "plush", even on the bottom side of the seat. This is intended to simulate an occupied seat even when it's not occupied, so as to maintain a reasonably consistent reverberant sound field whether the room is 1/4 full or full.

... depending on how many listeners (aka human tube traps) are sharing it with you?
