How IMG Furniture Combines Scandinavian Design & Body-Correct Engineering?

Minimalism is one of the most loved design styles in the world, with its roots in the quiet, beautiful landscapes of Scandinavia. The idea was simple. Every curve and line serves a purpose, yet is free from visual clutter. The result is furniture that looks clean and modern while offering advanced comfort features. 

IMG Furniture (Internasjonal Møbel Gruppe) draws directly from that Scandinavian lineage. The brand combines the understated nature of Scandinavian design with advanced ergonomic features that support the body intelligently. The result is furniture that not only looks elegant and minimal, but is also designed for real human comfort. 

This article takes you through the origin of IMG Furniture and what makes them special. 

IMG - The Origin

The IMG’s roots can be traced back to 1934 in Sykkylven, Norway’s furniture capital. The steep mountains and peaceful fjords shaped a culture where simplicity and craftsmanship matter the most. 

IMG is also part of Ekornes, the company behind Stressless. This connection brings decades of expertise in ergonomic furniture and helps maintain a high standard of engineering across the entire IMG range.

What Makes IMG Recliners Stand Out?

IMG recliners and sofas are built around the idea of body-correct support. Every detail is designed to reduce strain, maintain natural posture and offer personalised comfort.

Self-Adjusting Neck and Lumbar Support

Most IMG recliners, such as the Nordoc 11, offer adjustable headrests and lower back support that respond to your position. This keeps the spine aligned during extended periods of sitting.

Space Age Materials

IMG Furniture uses moulded foam technology to create cushions that maintain their shape for years. The foam adapts to your body without flattening over time.

Engineered Steel Frames

Each recliner features a strong steel structure and precise mechanisms that allow smooth movement. As a result, the reclining and swivel mechanisms are smooth and quiet.

Advanced Comfort Features

IMG offers advanced features such as glide systems, 360-degree swivel bases, power recliners, manual recliners, and adjustable headrests.

Scandinavian Minimalist Aesthetic with High Comfort

IMG Furniture maintains a clean Scandinavian look across all collections despite the advanced engineering. They are characterised by simple lines, smooth profiles, and balanced proportions, without any unnecessary detailing as in the Narvik Sofa. Another great example is the Function Sofa 93. It merges ergonomic comfort with a simple, modern profile.

How to Choose the Right IMG Piece for Your Space?

Choosing the right IMG furniture piece depends on various factors, including the room, space, and design aesthetic, among others. 

Compact Living Rooms

Compact models such as the Liberty collection work well in small spaces because they offer full support without looking bulky. These wall saver sofas have a relatively small footprint and help make the best use of the limited space.

Mobility Support

Lift chairs, such as the Chelsea Lift, help gently raise the user to a standing position. They offer all the supportive comfort of the regular relaxer range with added assistance. 

Sofa Seating

Motion sofas such as the Duke or Brando provide multiple reclining seats with power or manual controls. They are also highly configurable with power and battery options, as well as lift and multifunction chairs.

Personalised Comfort

The Classic Jade armchair range comes with a higher seat, supportive armrests, a circulation-enhancing ottoman base, and an adjustable “just-right” headrest. Most importantly, it comes in different sizes, standard and large.
