Saola from Leolux, a furniture manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands, is an [armchair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomo-armchair) that has a bit of a commercial appeal to it. Although it looks like a glorified dentist chair, it is made with the home in mind. The ultimate in relaxation, it is a [compact adjustable and cushioned seating option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge) that will embrace bodies and never let them go.

Designed by Joachim Nees, Saola from Leolux rebels against typically [bulking recliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-living-king-cloud-recliner) for a silhouette that is more sleek and shapely. Whether listening to music, reading a book or watching television, a person will find optimal comfort when sitting in Saola from Leolux.

It is controlled with a wireless remote, which changes seat and back settings effortlessly. Saola from Leolux rests on a stainless steel or lacquer four spoke base.
