We already know that the pronounle can replace a masculine noun (Replacing nouns with le, la, l', les = it, him, her, them (direct object pronouns)) or a whole idea (Using le or l' to refer to previously mentioned ideas (direct object pronoun)).

Note that in sentences when you don't want to repeat an adjective, in French you'll need to use the object pronoun le to replace it.
You can't just omit it, and say:
Ce canapé est confortable mais ces fauteuils ne sont pas ... (quoi?). -> In French, something is missing here.
Note also that le becomes l' in front of a vowel or a mute h.
