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!

Why only sit on the the laurels of our understanding of upholstered furniture? Now you can lie on them! In our new bed assortment you can find upholstered bed-heads and frames. It is only right that you should be able to relax and socialise just as well in bed as on a sofa.

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!

Colours like black, white and grey provide a secure basis with room for renewal. By changing the colour of surrounding accessories the whole room feels new. Change with the seasons, trends or your mood. You decide.

Design cannot save the world. But it can make the world more beautiful and functional so that we see the need to protect it more clearly.

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.
