Furniture World News Desk on 6/25/2020

Ekornes, Inc. recently announced their new Stressless showroom location at 220 Elm in High Point, NC. The company will show in space 110 at 220 Elm for the first time in October 2020.

“We are ecstatic to move to our new space at 220 Elm,” says Peter Bjerregaard, President. “Our retail buyers already spend a lot of time in that building so we hope this will make it even more convenient for them.”

The new space gives Stressless street side signage presence plus an opportunity to elevate the brand in a beautifully, well-lit and nicely maintained building.

“I admire Ekornes’ tradition and craftsmanship,” says Heinz Kattenfeld, Chief Operating Officer, 220 Elm. “We are looking forward to working with their talented team.”

In a related move, Jonathan Brooks has been hired as Showroom Manager for the company, managing both High Point and Las Vegas spaces. He was most recently with Connie Post Designs.

“We are thrilled to have Jonathan on the Stressless marketing team,” says Beverly Kastel, Marketing Director. “He has made a huge impact for us in a short time already.”

Brooks will also travel to retail stores to set up Stressless Galleries when he is not working in the showrooms.
