Your Ekornes chair's age can be determined by its serial number, typically found under the seat or on the base.
Ekornes Stressless chairs include a serial number that reveals the manufacturing date. The first two digits indicate the year, followed by the month. For example, "2103" means March 2021. Some models also feature a sticker with the production date. If the serial number is worn or missing, you can contact Ekornes customer service with photos for assistance. Leather tags or manufacturing labels may also provide clues about the chair's age.
How to find the serial number on your Ekornes chair
- Check under the seat cushion or along the metal frame
- Look for a metal plate or sticker with engraved numbers
- Examine the base or underside of the chair
- Check for a leather tag with production information
