NEA Studio Designed the Beanie Sofa out of Lentils

Let’s talk about sofas. Most are made from foam, down, feathers, springs, or some combination thereof, which results in many being too hard or too soft… but the new Beanie Sofa aims to be just right. Designed by NEA Studio, the LEED certified sofa is filled with lentil beans and organic latex, along with a wooden structure, that support the natural curves and movements of the human body. Think of it like a modern bean bag sofa you will never feel the need to squirrel away in another room so no one ever sees it.

Beanie is composed of two giant cushions, one that stretches out and above the ends of the other one, making it the perfect nap sofa. Speaking of naps, bean-filled furniture is known to ease back pain by helping muscles to relax while maintaining good posture. That means it’s supportive but super comfortable so you can sit back, relax, and watch TV or the back of your eyelids.

The Beanie Sofa is available in a variety of colors, fabrics, and sizes so you can customize your new best friend to match your space. But I’d start saving your pennies now because the sofa will set you back $15,187 via [email protected] and 1stdibs.
