The Norwegian design brand Ekornes, a corporate member of the Thai-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce, has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 for its recliner Stressless Adam.
The Red Dot Award is one of the world’s most respected recognitions for product design, honouring innovations that successfully combine functionality with outstanding aesthetics.
“Stressless Adam represents a bold step forward in the design of motorised recliners. It challenges the conventional notion that functionality must come at the expense of aesthetics. With Stressless Adam, we’ve managed to harmonise advanced comfort features with a refined, Scandinavian-inspired design language,” said Mariana Sousa, Head of Design at Ekornes AS, in Eskorn’s press release.
The Red Dot jury also highlighted the design’s balance of comfort and Scandinavian influence, noting that “although the Stressless Adam armchair clearly focuses on comfort, its Scandinavian-influenced design ensures a harmonious appearance.”
Ekornes is one of the world’s leading furniture design brands and has brought international attention to Nordic design. One of the company’s eight factories is located about an hour’s drive outside central Bangkok.
