Nordic design drives new look for Stressless®

SOMERSET, N.J., Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Stressless® unveiled today at High Point Market six 2015 recliner and sofa styles, some equipped with the new BalanceAdapt® comfort technology, along with fresh options for color and coverings.

"Stressless is entering an exciting era of Nordic design, while engineering new ways to deliver the most comfortable seating in the world," said Beverly Kastel, Ekornes marketing manager. "2015 will be a landmark year in shaping the future of the Stressless brand."

Product introductions for 2015 include Stressless Skyline, a recliner featuring a Signature Base combining chrome with wood accents. The coordinating Stressless Metropolitan sofa mimics Skyline's tufted cushions and slightly flared arms, creating a cohesive paired look. Another recliner and sofa pair, Stressless View and Stressless Panorama, feature clean silhouettes and a streamlined look.

Each of these pieces are equipped with new BalanceAdapt comfort technology, which rocks and reclines smoothly by balancing the user's body weight. Sofas with BalanceAdapt feature independently mobile seats, allowing multiple users to relax to their own levels of comfort.

Two additional recliner options include Stressless Nordic and Stressless Crown, which deliver a fresh take on a more traditional style. Both feature the classic hourglass base for a striking silhouette from any angle.

To complement the new products, a new line of luxury leathers, new high-quality textiles and Ultrasuede® coverings were announced. The Cori leather collection features high durability, a supple feel and many updated colors. Meeting rigorous testing standards for color fastness and durability, the Ultrasuede cover retains its original beauty throughout years of use. Its suede-like surface results in a luxurious soft hand, enhancing comfort and beauty for the Stressless customer. The new program will feature a selection of seven top-selling and on-trend colors.

New products will be available to customers in second quarter of 2015. Consumers can learn more by visiting the nearest Stressless dealer or www.ekornes.com.
