Ekornes will be unveiling its latest design innovation with a new category of Stressless dining furniture, including tables and chairs, at the High Point Spring Market, April 14-18.
Stressless furniture, known for its innovation, craftmanship and minimalist Scandinavian style offers functionality in on trend furniture. Beverly Kastel, marketing director for Ekornes said, "Stressless sits at the juncture of modern technology and artisan craftsmanship.”
“Our Stressless recliner is a personal oasis in a hectic world. It's constructed from environmentally friendly raw materials and engineered with cutting-edge technology. The look and feel of our furniture complements the smart-home sensibility, where tech and comfort intersect," Kastel said.
Design and development work at Ekornes focuses on features that provide practical solutions to everyday problems.
The Stressless Plus-system simultaneously aligns the lower back support with the headrest in Stressless recliners and sofas. BalanceAdapt-system means the sitting angle automatically adjusts to the body's movement – without levers or handles. ErgoAdapt is a built-in tilting mechanism available on select Stressless sofas that adjusts the sofa to the body's sitting angle or sleeping position. The LegComfort-system is the newest Stressless recliner feature, releasing a hidden footrest with a gentle push to provide optimal and adjustable leg support.
The company says the smart-home lifestyle of connected devices is what drives consumer preference for smart furniture. Stressless is their answer, providing functionality in natural materials, striking a balance between the desire for comfort and connectivity in the home.
Ekornes will be exhibiting at the IHFC Design Center, 8th Floor, D820.
