Why it is renowned

Stratos was known for its balanced lines and full shape, and imitations of it appeared soon after it came out.1 Vogue Scandinavia called it a pillowy sofa and counted it among the 20th-century classics that paved the way for the house as it is today.2

Stratos came out in 1979 as the first sofa Jens Juul Eilersen designed alone for Eilersen.1 By 2026 it was no longer part of Eilersen's range.3
