Eilersen, in collaboration with Bly Studio, has unveiled the Bug collection, a thoughtfully crafted suite featuring a sofa, chair, stool, and table, each defined by the same sculptural curves and refined design language. Guided by the principle of “low impact, long durability,” the collection integrates sustainability into every aspect of its creation.
Beyond its striking aesthetic, Bug embodies a holistic approach to eco-conscious design: pieces are flat-packed to minimize transportation emissions, engineered for easy disassembly and repair, and built with replaceable components to significantly extend their lifespan. By combining timeless design with practical sustainability, the Bug collection demonstrates that environmental responsibility and enduring style can coexist seamlessly in contemporary furniture.
“It’s about designing for tomorrow’s world, without losing what we’ve always stood for: excellent comfort, ultimate quality, and timeless design,” shares Nils Juul Eilersen.
