Fjords Legacy
The journey began in 1941, when brothers Otto and Mindor Hjellegjerde started producing furniture in the cellar of their family home in Sykkylven, a picturesque fjord village in Møre and Romsdal, Norway. What started as a small-scale effort was fueled by determination and craftsmanship.
As demand steadily increased, the cellar workshop was expanded, and in 1946, their third brother, Ingvald, joined the venture. Together, they shared a vision of creating functional and beautifully designed furniture.
Over time, their passion and innovation transformed a humble family workshop into one of Norway’s largest furniture groups, influencing the evolution of the nation’s furniture industry.
Crafted for Comfort
Every Fjords product is a testament to craftsmanship, quality, and timeless Norwegian design. Sophisticated engineering blends seamlessly with elegant aesthetics, reflecting decades of expertise and innovation.
Each piece is the result of years of studying the human body-its posture, movement, and need for support. This knowledge shapes furniture that adapts naturally, providing unparalleled comfort while maintaining a modern, stylish appeal.
To ensure the true Fjords experience, always look for the official Fjords logo. It is your assurance of authentic design, enduring quality, and the comfort that has become the hallmark of our brand.
I fell in love with this chair the moment I saw it. The velvet is soft and luxurious, and the high back gives such amazing support. The matching ottoman makes it perfect for relaxing with a book or movie.
I work from home and needed something comfortable yet elegant. This chair checks every box — high back, great lumbar support, and soft velvet that still feels breathable.
Love this chair! It’s soft but still gives solid back support. The ottoman is the perfect height, and the tilt motion makes it even more relaxing. Highly recommend it.
I got the metal swivel base version, and it’s perfect for my modern apartment. The tilt and swivel motion feels smooth and controlled. The craftsmanship is clearly top-notch — very happy with this purchase.
I chose the wood-leg version, and it fits perfectly in my mid-century styled space. The chair feels sturdy, the foam is dense and supportive, and the ottoman adds so much comfort.
