2 seater sofa designed by Eilersen for Jens Juul Eilersenthe Mission Sofa is a modern and contemporary take on the classic London sofa, showcasing a stringent body with slender legs and eye for detail.

My fiancée and I were searching for modern furniture pieces that not only look beautiful but also are practical. Danish Design ticked all the boxes - superb comfort and aesthetics value, a decent variety of different furniture lines, and staff who are willing to take their time to explain the pieces to you. For many of their sofa lines, they have a wide array of different fabrics (and colours) to suit your lifestyle (eg, warmer or cooler materials). We ended up getting a Bolia couch and a Skovby dining table - wish we had gotten more! Definitely will return again

Was hunting high and low for a modern and sleek looking sofa and finally found in at Danish Design. Fell in love at first sight and decided to up the budget to get a set in leather for ease of maintenance. Excellent service from Danish Design. While the six month wait was long, they kept us updated regarding the progress. Picture showing our “princess of the house” enjoying on the comfy sofa. Well worth the.
