The Nun Plain Lounge Chair is a study in understated comfort. Designed by Jens Juul Eilersen, it carries the same inviting proportions and exceptional craftsmanship that have made Eilersen sofas renowned worldwide. With its clean, architectural silhouette and gently tailored upholstery, this lounge chair brings a relaxed elegance to living rooms, reading corners, bedrooms, and lounge spaces alike. Designed for everyday comfort, the design features supportive armrests and a generously proportioned seat that encourages long conversations and quiet moments alike. A down-top seat cushion pairs with a back cushion filled entirely with down and duck feathers, creating the soft, enveloping comfort that has become synonymous with Eilersen design.
