Product that lasts

Furniture from Stressless® is quality products that will accompany you throughout life. We choose our raw materials carefully to give the furniture a long shelf life. Choosing a high-quality product extends its service life and reduces environmental impact. This means that design is also important. With a focus on timeless furniture design, we create icons that last.

Our production

Our wooden offcuts are regenerated into heating our factory and any surplus heat is used for district heating for homes and the local outdoor pool. Even our simple efforts such as using recycled materials for packaging and using leftover foam for armrests and footrests are all contributing to make a difference. Our more complicated closed loop system allows us to clean the steel without releasing toxins and our use of water-based paints and lacquers have the same benefit.
