Sculptural Bean-Filled Furniture

NEA Studio's Supportive Beanie Sofa is Filled with Lentil Beans

Bean-filled furniture has a style that's associated with comfort and relaxation but it often lacks a level of sophistication. The Beanie Sofa by NEA Studio sets itself apart as a stylish home furniture piece that's filled with lentil beans and organic latex, as well as a wooden structure for additional support.

The LEED-certified sofa distinguishes itself as a design that's not made from foam, down, feathers or springs, as so many other sofas are. Thanks to the unique properties of the product, the design is made up of oversized cushions that are propped up on smaller, bean-filled rounds. This sophisticated take on the classic bean chair offers a fully supported solution for the whole body, especially when it comes to fully reclining.
