I looked at all the answers. Only one was halfway close. There probably are spray repellants, but here's the thing that works:
Tobasco or hot sauce
Yep! That's right! Rabbits don't like stuff that's hot. Coat it with that and when the rabbit licks it, it won't chew it. The American Rabbit Breeders Association puts out a flyer on house training rabbits. I know you aren't house training it, but in that flyer it tells about how to keep them from chewing on furniture and electric chords.

Rabbits are rodents, they have to chew to wear down their teeth. Keep the rabbit in a restricted area, if not a hutch, and make sure it has the right sort of things to chew on (ask your vet or do some Web research.) Chewing is a natural impulse, but if they have things to chew on to hand it should get better. The house is not the best place to keep a rabbit because of electric wiring--not to mention the smell of rabbit urine is v. penetrating. You may be used to it but anyone who comes in from outside will notice it a great deal!

Don't let the rabbit in the house, if you must there is something you can get to stop cats not sure what's it called but you spray it on and they won't go near it, and it does not hurt them, check out a pet store

try buying her some chew toys like a cat toy or some treats. When i had a rabbit i used to give hI'm cardboard or hold string and he used to love chewing through it... It also meant we were interacting and he became very tame.. but if you sit with her and hold bits for her to chew im sure she'll enjoy it just as much and have the bonuses of your company!

There are spray on repellents at pet stores and garden centers that work well and people cannot notice the smell. My rabbit lives loose in my apartment at all times and I simply used a squirt gun.

Yes you can its simple, keep the rabbit outside and do not bring it in the house.

Thats what happens when you make your furniture out of carrots .
Go to your pet shop and ask, maybe rabbits do that to keep their teeth in good order.
