Originally envisioned and sketched by Japanese designer Yuzuru Nishiyama in collaboration with Jens Juul Eilersen, the Butterfly Sofa was created to strike a balance between formal elegance and relaxed comfort. The cushions define the character of this sofa. Generously proportioned and luxuriously comfortable, they appear to embrace the frame as the arm cushions gently fold over the sides. Visible stitching throughout highlights the craftsmanship behind the design and serves as a subtle yet distinctive detail that gives the sofa its unmistakable identity. Designed around a delicate frame with down-filled seat cushions, back cushions, and armrests, this sofa delivers exceptional comfort while maintaining a remarkably light visual presence. Slender stainless steel legs elevate the sofa and reinforce its elegant proportions, making it particularly well suited to smaller spaces where comfort and scale are equally important.
Butterfly is available in a wide selection of fabrics and leathers, allowing you to create a sofa tailored to your space and style. To explore customization possibilities, see below or contact us for assistance.
