Hi, I've already got the Herman Miller Aeron chair for working which is great...

Now I'm looking for a similar quality chair for relaxing in my living room.

Anyone can recommend some good chairs?

I can rep this chair. Had it for a few years now, its def winning++.

That being said, I also have a green recliner that was once my grandpa's. Classic Americana rod furniture. It is also nice, and retails at a garage sale near you for $25.
 
There was an article about the Eames Lounge Chair just the other day on one of my favorite design blogs showing the assembly of the chair at Vitra, the European manufacturer of them. Kind of a poorly shot and edited video but cool anyway...

Couple of previous articles about the chair worth looking at...

That chair is kind of a big deal in furniture design history.
 
I have a Cassina LC4, which is pretty comfortable. If I were redecorating I'd probably get the Herman Miller lounge chair, though. Get it in leather, not cowhide if you want something fap-friendly.

Hey guys, thanks for the recommendations so far. But t.b.h. I'm not a big fan of the eames design. I'm looking for something more modern.
I kind of like the style of the one below (vitra cite) for example but not sure how it sits, and it's a bit expensive for what it is (only € 2527,00).
