history

A typical appearance in living rooms of American houses is the recliner (English for "armchair"), an armchair that usually stands alone, the backrest of which can be reclined while a footrest folds out below. Recliners occasionally have a built-in cup holder and are primarily popular as television chairs in the United States.

This armchair was invented in 1928 and patented by La-Z-Boy in 1931.
