Christmas is meant to be about Christianity so is there a better way to relax this year than in this amazing chair?

According to I Love Bad Things, the [Corcovado Lounge Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekko-chair) “leads to spirituality by [relaxing with open arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge).” The chair welcomes you with open ‘arms’ much as a statue of Jesus with arms outstretched would. It’s definitely seating I haven’t seen the likes of before.

Would I buy one? Hell yeah--it’s as much a [piece of sculpture as furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr).
