Ekornes Stressless Furniture

Ekornes is a prestigious Norwegian furniture manufacturer, globally recognized for its Stressless line of ergonomic recliners and sofas. Founded in 1934 by Jens E. Ekornes, the company revolutionized the furniture industry with the introduction of the Stressless chair in 1971, which gained fame for its patented comfort technology and Scandinavian design.

Historically a family-founded Norwegian enterprise, Ekornes was acquired in 2018 by Qumei Home Furnishings Group, a leading Chinese furniture company. Despite this change in ultimate ownership, the brand maintains its core production facilities in Sykkylven, Norway, ensuring that the 'Made in Norway' heritage remains a central part of its product identity and quality assurance for global markets.
