In 1971, Stressless® was launched. The revolutionary recliner became the first real TV chair for modern society. You could lean back and rest, watch TV in comfort or turn around to the coffee table in one smooth movement. The patented Glide™ -system attracted a great deal of attention and is still a unique feature.
The philosophy behind Stressless® quickly gained its footing. Comfort was in high demand and at the same time that Stressless® recliner no. 500,000 completed production, export sales pushed past NOK 100 million. The company’s success in the export market as recognized in 1983 when Ekornes was awarded the Norwegian Export Prize.
Stressless® consolidated its position. The Plus™-system was introduced, with automatic adjustment of the headrest and lumbar support. The Stressless® sofa was launched and Ekornes began producing each design in two or three sizes to ensure maximum comfort regardless of users physique.
The Ekornes factory was extended by 30,000sqm in order to meet increased demand. The factory became one of the most modern furniture factories in the world. 2004-saw the introduction of the redesigned Stressless® logo and throughout the decade, product lines and variants were continuously expanded and redefined.
Ekornes introduced several new concepts of motion furniture. Stressless® Dining was launched and soon conquered dining in total in complete comfort. Another milestone, Stressless® achieved 10 million seats sold and opened its first brand store on Tottenham Court Road. London. At the end of the decade, the first Stressless® furniture with Power™ was launched.
