The Butterfly sofa is in stock in the US for quick delivery at 86.5" x 35.5" in Granny 07 and Yarn 023.
The Butterfly sofa was conceived and sketched by Japanese designer Yuzuru Nishiyama, in collaboration with Jens Juul Eilersen. The idea behind Butterfly was to create a sofa that balances the formal and the informal.
From the back, it appears slim, minimalistic and quite formal, whereas from the front its look is dominated by the soft, down-filled cushions with visible stitching. These stitches give Butterfly a softer look, with a Bohemian touch. With its tall cushions, the sofa is the best and most convenient place in your home to rest or just sit and chat.
With a knotless pine wood frame and down-filled cushions, Butterly is made of strong, solid materials, much like Eilersen's other sofas, so you can expect its shape and comfort to last a long time. Eilersen offers its large assortment of textiles, so each individual can choose the color, texture, and composition of the product.

The front elevation of this modern transitional home in North York combines timeless architectural proportions with clean, contemporary detailing. Large windows flood the interiors with natural light while enhancing the exterior’s balanced, symmetrical façade. Warm materials, elegant lighting, and thoughtful landscaping create strong curb appeal and a welcoming first impression. Every exterior detail was carefully coordinated to complement the home’s interior design, ensuring a cohesive look from outside to in.

This luminous hallway is conceived as a narrow gallery suspended between architecture and landscape. Black-framed glazing on the left exposes the textured stone wall and exterior passage, while a tall window at the far end draws daylight deep into the interior and frames the green landscape beyond. White walls and pale wood flooring amplify the natural light, creating an atmosphere of clarity and spaciousness despite the corridor’s compact width. A sequence of black directional ceiling fixtures follows the sloping roofline, emphasizing the unusual geometry and establishing a strong visual rhythm. Framed artwork animates the walls with subtle color and reinforces the gallery-like character, while flush doors and concealed detailing keep the composition clean. The design combines modern minimalism with industrial steelwork and the tactile warmth of rural stone architecture. Moving through this corridor would feel calm and gently cinematic, with each step revealing another framed view; the glass brings openness, the stone provides reassurance, and the wood adds warmth underfoot.

Luxury kitchen photograph at the Contemporary Waterfront Estate centers on a large island surrounded by upholstered counter stools. Dark reddish-brown wood cabinetry with long metal pulls frames built-in appliances, while glossy black countertops create a strong contrast with the pale island base. A suspended rectangular fixture with candle-like lights defines the work area. Polished flooring and abundant recessed lighting keep the expansive kitchen bright, functional and well suited to casual dining and entertaining.

The photo shows the arrangement above the kitchen countertop using Talavera tiles from the Tono set – white and cobalt blue patchwork by Cerames. These Mexican wall tiles create an artistic, hand-painted pattern, serving as a strong decorative accent. The project beautifully combines white and blue tiles, a rustic vibe, and contemporary aesthetics. This patchwork is an ideal choice as a countertop backsplash – each tile is slightly different, which enhances the uniqueness of the interior.

Inspired by the client’s frequent trips to Martha’s Vineyard, this renovation project’s primary goal was to create a landscape complimentary of this Colonial Revival style home, reminiscent of Edgartown, Massachusetts.
The front landscape was specifically designed to offer expansive views of a layered horizontal foundation planting that nestled itself around the base of the home, allowing the home itself to be the star of the show. Flowering borders that rotate with the seasons create a strong foreground while a clipped yew hedge forms the barrier needed to separate the billowing panicle hydrangeas in the background. The axial design of the herringbone front walk, punctuated by a bluestone transitional space and formal cast limestone urn, create an axis by which all other landscape elements are symmetrically mirrored.
Desiring a rear entertainment space separated from the adjacent 4 car garage and recreational lawn, a series of intimate gathering spaces were designed to include Edgartown inspired architectural features that would establish the character of the garden while setting the backdrop for a robust mix of perennials, grasses, hedges and annuals. Mimicking the pattern and detail previously established on the stone base of the home, individually hand chiseled pieces of Valders veneer were used to construct the garden walls. Reclaimed street pavers border a reconfigured bluestone patio and create a garden walk that separates the garden into 4 equal quadrants; each section of the walk connecting itself to a prominent feature of the garden. The central paver transition space is backed by a concentric hedge of low growing boxwoods, delineating annual and perennial. The relocation of an arbor, in conjunction with a new evergreen hedge, creates the desired partition between relaxed conversation and open lawn activities. A brick masonry water feature with reclaimed 1916 antique cast iron tub anchors the garden and terminates the perennial adorned paver walk opposite the home’s fireplace centered within the main seating area.
Whether spending an evening with friends or a quiet moment alone, this quaint garden space offers our clients the perfect ambiance to pause and reflect on life’s special treasures.
