I may just have to retire the [LA-Z-Boy recliner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stressless-adam) after seeing this baby. Short of actually being in the seat of a formula racer, the Formula 1 chair will give you the ultimate [racing experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-titan-evo-mclaren-edition). Park this bad boy in front of your 50 inch and you’ll be all ready for the Grand Prix.

Created by Bulgarian interior designer Alexander Christoff, the [Formula 1 Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polarisgo-chair) is made entirely of fiberglass with chrome legs at the rear and an adjustable headrest. After spending 5 minutes in this chair, you’ll be ready to challenge Michael Schumacher on the circuit.
