Ekornes Stressless Recliner

The Stressless recliner is an iconic piece of Scandinavian furniture design, originated by Ekornes in Sykkylven, Norway, in 1971. Known for its 'Glide system' and internal patented mechanisms that adapt to the user's movement, it has become one of the most famous reclining chairs globally.

The product is primarily manufactured in Sykkylven, Norway, where Ekornes maintains its main production facilities. The brand emphasizes high-quality leather and wood craftsmanship, reflecting its Nordic heritage.

Starting from 2018, the ultimate ownership of Ekornes ASA (the parent company) shifted to the Chinese group Qumei Home Furnishing Group. Despite the change in parent company ownership, the brand's headquarters and primary manufacturing remain firmly rooted in Norway to preserve its design integrity and European brand identity.
