Papillon Design have brought their love of denim and wearing jeans to a whole new level of comfort. I love wearing a nice pair of jeans as much as the next person, but this jean-covered sofa may just be taking it over the top.

Papillon Design has constructed a series of denim-covered pieces of furniture that consist of real pairs of jeans from the 60s and 70s. Each pair of jeans is hand-stitched to the sofa, making these pieces a mixture of authenticity and custom comfort.
