About Stressless
The legendary Stressless recliner was born on the west coast of Norway, in the small community of Sykkylven. Jens Ekornes founded the company in 1934, after which an unbroken lineage of proud craftsmen have produced some of the world’s finest furniture. In a place where resources were scarce, everything had to be built to last.
