The legendary Stressless® recliner was born on the west coast of Norway, in the small community of Sykkylven, where the main factory still lies. Jens Ekornes founded the company in 1934, after which an unbroken lineage of proud craftsmen have produced some of the world’s finest furniture.

Today, a Stressless® recliner, sofa or dining chair is still assembled by hand, with the aid of the most sophisticated technology available in furniture manufacturing. As new designs continue to be developed, the main goal remains unchanged: The most comfortable seating experience ever.
