Eilersen Furniture.
Despite being Danish, it is difficult to find a still shot of these magnificent sofas outside of Japanese websites. That seems like a good sign to me!
We have been looking for a sofa pretty much ever since we got together nearly four years ago. He, being a stereotypical scandinavian when it comes to design, wants something very minimalistic and small. I, being swayed by both Scandinavian and Japanese design, yet wanting something that doesn´t turn my backside to a piece of plywood after 30 minutes of sitting, have found it a nearly insurmountable challenge to find a sofa that is comfortable and stylish and agreeable to both of us.
Perhaps we are lucky that disagreeing on a couch is one of our big relationship issues. Of course moving to Norway, negotiating years upon years in the chaos that is Belgium, and being homesick for North America have their real places in the pecking order of distress, but the couch is where everything meets and comes to a head.
Queue the Eilersen sofa.
Eilersen sofas are high-end, legendary for their comfort, and replete with modern, yet simple, stylish lines. One sits “in” – not on – one of these design marvels. The lead designer, Jens Juuls Eilsersen, says that he designs a sofa so you can “sit softly without tilting.
“ The new Krypton model, launched mid-2008, is particularly riveting. It has a thick core of foam at the top of the seat, and is upholstered with down. DOWN!
This one may be out of our price-range at the moment, but not all Eilersens are. While an investment, so is our freetime and maintaining some sense of harmony in our small little home.
I am certain we will have our Eilersen, available from Marnberg furniture, very, very soon. Global recession be damned!
