At the start of the new football season there’s one stereotype in particular that inspired us for this post. Apparently the whole nation (or male population at least) will lay back in their lazy boys and yell at the TV every time the game is on for the next few months. While we fully embrace the yelling at the TV, we also think it should be done in style. Therefore we give you our selection of the best modern lounge chairs to root for your favorite team with class.
Womb Chair Volo Leather $4,983.55
This expressive sculptural chair from Eero Saarinen’s furniture has a strong architectural form and won’t be just a great spot to rest off or watch the game but also a piece that will uplift the feel of the whole room. It’s a great piece for any bachelor pad.

LC3 Grand Modele Armchair $5,345
The Le Corbusier group referred to their LC2 and LC3 collections as “cushion baskets,” which is exactly what we look in a comfy armchair – a basket of cushions. This chair will hug you for hours and satisfy your need for elegant minimalism and industrial style.

Eames Lounge and Ottoman Chair $4,559
If this lounge chair is Charles and Ray Eames’ idea of bringing greater pleasure to our lives than who are we to disagree. The warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt makes this chair one of the most significant designs of the 20th century. It’s quite possible it will steal all the spotlight from the match.
