Product details

ESSEBODA sofa stands out with its soft comfort, generous shape and well-thought-out design – it’s great throughout the home and can be matched with other items in the series for versatile use.

Turned legs, fabric-covered buttons and well-sewn seams give a timeless, elegant and crafted feel.

The rounded and slightly lower armrests are comfortable to rest both your arms and head on – and the high backrest feels comfortable for both your neck and back.

Pocket springs that follow your body combined with high-resilience foam and fibre balls means that you both sink into the sofa and get support where it’s needed to enjoy a relaxed sitting position.

You can combine the sofa with ESSEBODA footstool to create a welcoming and comfortable chaise longue.

This cover is made from Knäbäck, a soft cotton and polyester fabric with a clear structure and a lively expression.

Designer thoughts

Designer thoughts

“When I designed ESSEBODA, I wanted to make a sofa series that adds character to the room. It has a traditional, elegant look in a contemporary, relaxed style. It’s generous, soft and welcoming with a high back and thick seat, yet the expression is light with turned legs and upholstery details. And it combines a cosy rounded shape with functions like storage in the bench and lower armrests that are nice to rest your head on. Pure comfort – that’s confirmed when you sit down!"

Designer Francis Cayouette
