Ekornes

Ekornes ASA (ose|EKO) is a Norwegian furniture company. It is principally known for its luxury line of reclining armchairs and sofas sold under the trademark "Stressless". The patented mechanism of knob-controlled friction sliders on steel tubing allows the recliners to adjust to shifting sitting positions. They are the only recliners endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association.

Founded in 1934, Ekornes is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and, as of 2006, employs more than 1400 persons worldwide. Ekornes is based in Sykkylven, Møre og Romsdal, Norway.
