Furniture. Objects. Retail. Makers.

Almost every sofa looks good in a photograph. What separates one that still looks good in fifteen years is entirely hidden: the wood inside the arm, the springs under the seat, the density of the foam, the weight of the fiber wrapped around it. This guide opens an Eilersen up layer by layer, from slow-grown Scandinavian pine dried to 8-10% moisture, to no-zag springs tested past 200,000 impacts, to the pre-compressed fiberfill that separates a sofa that ages well from one that deflates. It closes with a checklist for judging any sofa, from any brand.

Eilersen builds every sofa to order, and custom pieces take 12 weeks or more to arrive. The Eilersen Quick Ship Sofa program changes that: a curated collection of Eilersen's best designs is stocked in the US and delivered in 2-4 weeks. This guide covers every stocked piece, from the adaptable Playground and family-friendly Great Ash to the sculptural Aton and the expansive Dacapo sectional, with sizes, fabrics and advice on choosing. Construction is identical to a custom order, and every sofa arrives with White Glove delivery included nationwide at no cost.

Buying a sofa is exciting right up until it arrives and something feels off. Maybe it swallows the room. Most people eyeball sofa size, skip the tape measure, and end up with a piece that never quite fits. The good news is that choosing the right size does not require an interior design degree. It requires a tape measure, about fifteen minutes, and this sofa size guide for your living room.

Every June, Copenhagen quietly becomes the design capital of the world. Not with the scale or spectacle of Milan, but with something more intimate: showrooms thrown open across eight historic districts, craftsmen and creative directors mingling on cobblestone streets, and a citywide conversation about what good design actually means. This is 3 Days of Design, and for its 13th edition, which ran from June 10 to 12, 2026, the festival drew over 560 exhibitors and an estimated 60,000 visitors under the theme "Make This Moment Matter," a deliberate step back from design world obsessions with nostalgia or novelty in favor of designing for the present.

The sofa bed has been quietly reinvented, not by the mass-market manufacturers who gave us the bar-spring nightmare, but by Danish furniture designers who decided the category deserved better engineering. Here's what you need to know to choose the right one.

Pantone's Home + Interiors forecast organizes the year around seven named palettes — Delight, Allure, Lucid, Hush, Honest, Grounded, and Elation — all unified under the concept of Sense-Abilities: the idea that color in the home should engage not just the eye, but the full sensory experience of being somewhere. What follows is a translation of those forecasts into the furniture color palettes and interior design color schemes that will define 2027 — with an eye toward the specific pieces available at Trade Source that let you get there ahead of the curve.

Founded in Denmark in 1989, Innovation Living has spent more than three decades rethinking what a sofa bed can be — drawing on the Scandinavian design tradition that insists form and function are not a compromise, but a conversation. The result is a collection of sofa beds that don't ask you to choose between a beautiful living room and a welcoming guest space. They give you both.

Believing that neutral color palettes had been dominant for quite some time, Eilersen's new A Time For Change exhibition breaks with convention, and the results are stunning. Juxtaposing white walls with printed textiles, paints, and wallpapers, Eilersen created a whimsical environment for 3 Days of Design in Copenhagan.
