The Float High Sofa by Jens Juul Eilersen is a development of the original Float Sofa — the same generous proportions and down-filled lounge comfort, now elevated above the floor on slender steel legs. Where the original design sits low and grounded, this piece carries itself with an elegant, airy poise that suits a wider range of interiors. The legs lift the frame just enough to change the entire character of the piece, creating a sofa that appears to float gracefully in space without sacrificing any of the softness that defines the model. The moveable back cushions, filled with duck and down, are both a decorative and functional detail — adjustable to wherever you want them, and soft enough to make this a lounge sofa in its purest form.

The Float High is available to order in a full range of sizes, configurations, and upholstery options. Please see below or contact us to discuss your requirements.
