Dezeen Showroom: Danish brand Eilersen has released three new multicoloured variants of its Cocoon sofa, including a Bauhaus edition that plays with primary colours and geometric forms.

Created by third-generation Eilersen designer Jens Juul Eilersen in 2008, Cocoon is a sofa that is meant to evoke the feeling of retreating into a pupa, with cushions of all shapes and sizes to help the sitter build a restorative nest.

"As I played around with the idea of what it must feel like to be a caterpillar spinning silk, the image of a gigantic toy box arose," said Jens Juul Eilersen. "A giant toy box with triangular cushions, lumbar cushions, head cushions, armrests, neck cushions – in fact, cushions of all shapes and sizes."

"It allows you to choose your own level of comfort while also having fun building and sitting on the sofa."

Following the success of a previous multicoloured version, Eilersen is now releasing the sofa in three new variations: Bloom, Blues and Bauhaus.

Bloom conjures the feeling of landscape with shades of green, pink and yellow, while Blues references calmness and coastlines. Bauhaus is more urban, with a combination of pastel and jewel shades of red, yellow and blue that reference the modernist art school and emphasise the varying shapes of cushion.
