Danish Design Meets Multifunctional Living

Founded on the proud Danish tradition of furniture design, Innovation Living operates with a singular philosophy: form and function must go hand in hand. This isn't mere marketing speak. Every piece that leaves their workshops represents over five decades of dedication to creating multifunctional sleeper sofas that serve everyday life without compromise. Today, they stand as an internationally renowned specialist, though their approach remains distinctly Scandinavian—understated, thoughtful, and built to last.

Innovation Living’s Design Philosophy

At the helm of Innovation Living's creative vision is Per Weiss, the Chief Design Officer who has been shaping the company's aesthetic direction since 1989. Based firmly in the Scandinavian design tradition, Weiss and his team pursue what he calls "durable designs that reflect zeitgeist"—furniture that captures the spirit of its time while possessing the longevity to transcend it.

This commitment to quality extends far beyond aesthetics. Innovation Living pioneered flat-pack design over 30 years ago, not as a cost-cutting measure, but as a reflection of their core values: sustainability, efficiency, and durability. This modular approach reduces CO₂ emissions, optimizes storage, minimizes transport damage, and—perhaps most importantly—enables easy assembly, maintenance, and repair. When spare parts are readily available and replacement is straightforward, furniture lives longer. It's circular economy thinking, Danish style.

The company backs their craftsmanship with a 5-year limited warranty, a testament to their confidence in materials and manufacturing. These aren't disposable pieces designed for a season or two—they're investments in quality living.

The Vilander Sofa Bed Collection

Among Innovation Living's most impressive recent introductions is the Vilander, designed by Per Weiss in 2024. This piece embodies what the company calls "effortless living"—the seamless integration of timeless design with everyday comfort.

The Vilander excels through its versatility, offering three distinct arm configurations to suit different spatial and aesthetic needs. The Cushion Arms version provides soft, upholstered arms that add an extra layer of relaxation and create a refined, welcoming look. The Roll Arms offer a more classic silhouette, while the Wide Arms present a contemporary statement with optional walnut veneer trays that transform the armrests into functional side tables.

But the Vilander's true genius lies in its transformation. With a single, smooth motion, this 3-seater sofa converts into a full-size bed (57" x 79") or expands into a generous family lounger—perfect for both quiet evenings and overnight guests. The Double Spring comfort system ensures luxurious support in every position, whether you're sitting, lounging, or sleeping.

Available in quick-ship performance fabrics with 1-3 week delivery (including options like Taura Off White, Avella Warm Grey, and Halifax Antique), the Vilander makes sophisticated design accessible without the typical wait times associated with custom furniture.

The Neah Sofa Bed Collection

Now in Leather

If the Vilander represents refined flexibility, the Neah is Innovation Living's statement piece—what they confidently call "the future of sofa beds." Designed by Per Weiss in 2023, this cutting-edge creation fuses innovation, timeless design, and unmatched comfort into what the company describes as "an absolute game-changer."

The Neah family offers remarkable customization: four sizes (from a 32" chair to a 71" three-seater), three distinct arm styles (Slim, Standard, and Curved), and availability in both premium fabric and leather upholstery. The Double Spring comfort system with metal frame ensures that whether you're seated or sleeping, the support remains exceptional.

For those seeking ultimate luxury, the Neah Leather elevates the design further. Available in both Iowa leather (corrected, protected, 0.9-1.1mm thickness) and Martel leather (semi-aniline, protected, 1.4mm thickness), in shades from Black to Cognac to Dark Brown, this version is built to last and designed to live. As the catalog notes, "Its leather surface softens and deepens in tone over time, revealing the beauty of true longevity."

The Neah's Curved Arms option adds a sophisticated touch, while the Slim Arms work perfectly for compact urban spaces. The Standard Arms provide that classic, balanced look that works in virtually any interior. Each configuration transforms into a generous 63" x 77" bed (or 55" x 77" for smaller models), ensuring your guests sleep as comfortably as they sit.

The Newilla Sofa Bed

The Newilla, designed by Per Weiss in 2022, represents a different approach to multifunctional design—one that prioritizes both style and unexpected practicality. This contemporary masterpiece effortlessly blends comfort and functionality, making it ideal for living rooms, TV rooms, or guest spaces.

Like its siblings, the Newilla offers three arm designs: Slim Arms for compact spaces, Standard Arms for classic appeal, and Wide Arms with optional walnut veneer trays for a modern, functional aesthetic. What sets the Newilla apart is its integrated storage system—spacious compartments hidden beneath the seat keep essentials organized and accessible without compromising the clean lines of the design.

The Newilla's transformation is equally impressive: from sofa to bed (57" x 79") happens smoothly, and when you want to create your own sanctuary of comfort—what the Danes call hygge—you can position it against a wall in bed mode with cushions propped up, creating a spacious lounge perfect for slow moments with family or friends.

The Newilla Lounger configuration adds even more versatility with a left/right reversible lounger section featuring additional storage. This creates a full sectional experience while maintaining the ability to transform into a sleeping surface spanning 118 inches when fully extended.

Crafted with LiveSmart performance fabrics, the Newilla features detachable, machine-washable covers—a thoughtful detail for families who actually live in their living spaces. The No-zag and Pocket Spring comfort system with solid wood frame ensures durability that matches the design's timeless appeal.

The Osvald & Cone Sofa bed

Minimalist Design with Maximum Function

For those who appreciate minimalist Scandinavian design at its purest, the Osvald and Cone (designed by Emil Højfeldt and Per Weiss, 2015-2023) offer an exercise in restraint and elegance. These pieces showcase fully upholstered arms and plush cushions that deliver exceptional comfort while maintaining remarkably clean lines.

Both designs feature the Pocket Spring Dual comfort system—individual pocket springs provide optimal support with an added layer of hyper-soft foam for an extra luxurious feel. This dual-comfort approach ensures these pieces feel as premium as they look, whether you're sitting for conversation or settling in for sleep.

The integrated storage compartment beneath the seat is generous enough for bedding, throws, or whatever needs to be tucked away, while the matching Cornila ottoman (30" x 30") extends the design language and provides additional storage. The ottoman is more than an accessory—it completes the aesthetic while offering practical utility.

The Cone distinguishes itself with its fully upholstered arms that create an especially enveloping, cocoon-like seating experience. When transformed into bed mode (59" x 79"), the metal frame and pocket spring system provide sleep comfort that rivals dedicated mattresses.

Available in quick-ship fabrics like Kenya Gravel, Esina Rust Orange, and Avella Warm Grey (1-3 week delivery), or special-order fabrics (14-16 weeks), both the Osvald and Cone prove that minimalism doesn't mean sacrificing warmth or personality.

The Innovation Living Difference

What unites all these designs—and indeed, Innovation Living's entire collection—is an unwavering commitment to what they call "craftsmanship, quality, and longevity." Every sofa bed features OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics and foams, ensuring they're free from harmful substances. The carefully curated fabric collection includes performance options engineered for real life: machine washable, water repellent, with high Martindale ratings (up to 200,000 rubs) and excellent color fastness.

This is furniture designed for how people actually live—welcoming guests, accommodating overnight visitors, adapting to changing needs, and standing up to the demands of daily use. The Danish approach to design has always been about democracy and accessibility, and Innovation Living extends this ethos to the often-compromised category of sleeper sofas.

In an era of fast furniture and disposable design, Innovation Living offers something increasingly rare: furniture that earns its place in your home and keeps it for years to come. Their pieces don't just expand your living space—they enhance it, with style that doesn't quit when the sun goes down.
