What’s a functional living room without a relaxing sofa?

This EKTORP sofa has thick, comfy cushions and space to sit together, lounge around and stretch out. It’s easy to keep clean and fresh, thanks to the removable, machine-washable covers.

This functional living room is great for a family to unwind in at the end of a day. Maybe with some newly produced works of art displayed up there in the HEMNES cabinet.
