The art of winter

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.

Looking into the crystal ball of colours

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.

The future looks wooly

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.
