Football season is starting soon, and to help fans enjoy their favorite sport in style, La-Z-Boy collaborated with fashion designer and sports culture icon Kristin Juszczyk on The Jer-Z-Boy. Juszczyk is known for transforming jerseys into custom fashion pieces sported by athletes and celebrities, and with La-Z-Boy, she's designing three one-of-a-kind custom recliners for fans.
With this collab, La-Z-Boy is reaching younger consumers and honoring sports superstitions with personalization in focus. Fans can enter for their shot at getting a custom Jer-Z-Boy recliner at a participating La-Z-Boy store or online, and winners will have a say in their design, based on their favorite team and comfort preference. What's more, each winner will also receive $1,000 in La-Z-Boy store credit to help with bringing even comfort and style home.
