Born of nature The legendary Stressless ® recliner was born on the west coast of Norway, in the small community of Sykkylven, where our 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 here. In a place where resources were scarce, everything had to be built to last. That philosophy still resides within the factory walls. When the Stressless ® Original was launched in 1971, it was an unprecedented success. 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 born here in the fjord landscape, our main goal remains unchanged: the most comfortable furniture in the world. 3
