The turn of the calendar often arrives with the promise of a pause. An opportunity to rest, reflect and a chance to begin anew. Balance is a lifestyle tenet that we, at Ekornes prioritise. Curating rituals and an off-duty routine that not only keeps you grounded but also yields results.
What makes a comfortable seat? Ekornes certainly know. They literally shaped the furniture world when they developed the first Stressless®recliner, an iconic design that still retains every bit of its original desirability today.
The Pleasures and Benefits of Resting to recharge your mind
In today’s fast-paced society, where many of us are constantly on the go, and feel the cumulative toll of constant alerts vying for attention, psychologist Tomas Myklebust offers a refreshing reminder: rest is not an indulgence—it’s a necessity.
If there ever was an ideal time to slow down and catch one’s breath, it’s now. As the days draw in and outside temperatures drop, it’s time to align ourselves with the seasons and live as nature intended, relishing time spent indoors.

We are as passionate about nature as we are about our beautiful furniture, so it comes naturally that we are keen to support the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and the wonderful work they do in the UK.
When you invest in quality furniture, you probably want to make sure the colour doesn’t go out of style in a few years. Or worse, that the bold colour you saw in the magazine spread just doesn’t look good in your living room. The choice between colours and textures in a Stressless®recliner or sofa is so vast, many use weeks or months pondering over the right choice.
In 2023, rich and harmonious colours will be essential in products and interiors that relieve, reassure and revitalize us. Across all sectors and markets, consumers will be yearning for colour that brings calm and joy. Nature and technology are the leading influences. Here are the key colours for 2023.
For decades, scientists have been intrigued by the fact that humans seem to have an aesthetic preference for curves over straight lines. Why is this? Is it a learnt preference, or is it evolution?
Some believe it’s simply more pleasing and demands less effort to move your eyes along a curve. Others link it to the neurophysiology of the visual system, after finding that one week old infants fixate longer on curved geometric forms than sharp angled ones.
Wool is a natural material that is durable and long-lasting, which makes it a great choice for furniture upholstery. It is known for its ability to regulate temperature, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This makes it a comfortable and practical choice for furniture that you will use every day. Also, wool can be dyed in a wide range of colours, so it can be used to create furniture that matches any decor.
When we went searching for a partner to deliver the finest wool fabrics available, we didn’t have to travel far.
With the constant demands of our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to forget to take a moment for ourselves. To many of us, a timeout can almost feel like an evasion, when we should be spending our time doing something useful.
