The Bean Sofa combines a fluid, organic silhouette with the adaptable comfort that defines Eilersen. Designed by Nils Juul Eilersen, its curved seat and softly rounded transitions create a playful form that feels equally suited to residential living spaces, hotel lounges, and open-plan interiors. Removable down-top backrests can be repositioned across the generous seating surface, allowing the sofa to shift naturally between upright seating, informal gatherings, and relaxed lounging. This piece is available as a freestanding sofa or as a section-based configuration with center, closing, and chaise lounge modules. Used on its own, the sofa has a lively, sculptural character. Expanded with additional sections, it takes on a longer and more composed expression. A fixed cover is standard, with a removable cover and leg-heightening kits available as custom options.

This model is fully customizable in configuration, upholstery, cover type, and leg height. To explore the full range of options, see customization options below or contact us to order.
