Wood is a natural and lively material, commonly used for furniture production. Natural variations in wood give the furniture individuality and character. Variations in pattern, colour and texture make each piece of furniture unique.

Wood can be processed in many ways and there are also many different types of trees that are used for furniture production. In Stressless^® production, we carefully select between the many options based on how each component will be used. Appearance, hardness, resistance, pliability, colour and structure are just some of the factors we take into consideration when choosing which material to use for a new product in the Stressless^® collection.

For Stressless recliners, sofas and accessories we mainly use solid or laminated beech.  The hardness of the wood makes beech furniture extremely durable. It is strong with a high abrasion resistance.  Beech is easy to work with and provides a good base for adding stain and varnish.
