FOREVER TRENDY. Trends come and go – born
from our need for change. But, when trends change
too fast the result is stress. In our small universe,
our world of sofas, the tempo is slightly more
agreeable. We travel all over the world to find the
best textiles and leather just for you. But home in
Bjärnum, our roots are deep fostering an affinity
to nature. Among birch trees and sparkling
lakes, a pleasant distance from the city pulse, we
can observe the world around us, both in birds-eye
view and detail. This gives us the right perspective
to create a modern miracle. A sofa should not be
like the width of your jeans cuff – hopelessly out of
fashion next season. We see sofas as a philosophy,
to recognise the new without loosing sight of the
old. Sofas are our passion and our challenge.
They continually trigger new ideas, prompting us
to combine sustainable and flexible function and
design. Modern people creating a personal life style
– forever trendy!

Choosing a sofa can be difficult. Except when you ask for a Furninova. For us the choice is as much a part of your personality as where the sofa should be, how it looks and that it is comfortable to sit in.

a sofa represents endless possibilities. Perhaps their greatest advantage is that you cannot run in a sofa. to sit down in a sofa is like landing on a paradise island. no crowding on your island of comfort, but plenty of room for friends. the fact is that sofas are more important than ever in the modern world. they counteract stress. by providing a free zone for good company and relaxation, you have more intellectual, emotional and physical energy. why chase happiness when you can sit in its midst? in your own home!

hoW Can We use design to attain a higher emotional and physical state? Create a place in our home where we can find ourselves, feel free and completely alive? the answer is balance. at Furninova we strive for balance between the different characteristics that strengthen each other. by balancing modern technology and functionality against comfort and feeling we can combine head and heart. some call it yin and yang. others talk of feng shui. we simply follow our intuition.
