The Sova Lounge Chair is an ergonomic + comfortable chair built from sustainably sourced wood

We often underestimate the importance of a great chair! When in reality we really shouldn’t. We spend the majority of our day sitting on chairs, whether we’re working in our home office, enjoying a meal, or simply sitting and reading a book for leisure. Hence, this piece of furniture needs to be not only comfortable but ergonomic, and aesthetic as well. And, French designer Patrick Norguet created such a ‘unique and comfortable armchair’ for the Bosnian furniture company Zanat.

Designer: Patrick Norguet for Zanat

Called the Sova Lounge Chair, the chair showcases a strong character, and has the kind of endearing personality that instantly grabs attention! The highlight of the chair is its curved and elongated back. Featuring an ergonomic design, the Sova Lounge Chair is marked by a C-shaped, foam-injected back, which is guaranteed to provide user comfort. The lounge chair boasts a solid wooden frame – available in options of maple, walnut, and oak. While the seat and back cushions can be upholstered in a variety of leather and fabric options.

“Sova means owl in Bosnian, and it was chosen to describe a piece designed for daydreaming and thoughts of wisdom which owls have come to symbolize,” said the brand. Since the Bosnian word for owl is ‘Sova’, the chair has been named so, to signify the fact that it is meant to be a furniture piece that encourages relaxation, and quiet thoughts.

All the wood used to construct the Sova Lounge Chair comes from private fruit orchards or sustainably managed forests. Not only is the Sova Lounge Chair ergonomic and elegant, but it is also a sustainable design that plays its part in saving the planet!
