Eilersen

Comfort is the craft — and time is the test

Eilersen’s story begins in Denmark in 1895, rooted in hands-on making and a belief that true quality reveals itself slowly. The result is upholstery built for everyday living: carefully engineered, obsessively finished, and made to stay comfortable year after year.

About Eilersen

Built by hand. Proven by everyday life.

Since 1895, a Danish legacy shaped by craft, engineering, and one guiding belief: real quality shows itself after years of use.

Origins

Eilersen began as a coachbuilder in Denmark, building for movement, weight, and long-term reliability. That early focus on structure still informs the way each piece is made today: frame-first thinking, precise construction, and a comfort that feels intentional, not accidental.

How an Eilersen is built

Eilersen’s approach is simple and uncompromising: select materials for performance, refine the internal build, and sweat the details that keep a sofa supportive and comfortable over time. It’s why the experience stays consistent, even as life gets lived in and routines get busy.

Behind the scenes

An exclusive look inside the Eilersen factory.

We were invited behind the scenes to see how an Eilersen sofa comes together—from the earliest stages of construction through the final finishing touches. It’s a rare opportunity to observe the craft up close.

Inside the workshop, every step is intentional. Frames are built for strength and alignment, foam is shaped by hand to support comfort over time, textiles are cut and sewn with precision, and each piece is inspected before it leaves the factory.

The result is upholstery that feels considered, consistent, and designed to hold up to everyday living—years after it first arrives in your space.
