Stressless® Wing Recliner with Cross Base and Ottoman
Introduce a dramatic blend of classic heritage and clean-cut modernism into your home. When curating a space that aims for both striking visual style and target-oriented posture correction, selecting from a premium collection of modern manual reclining chairs is key. This comprehensive guide highlights the Stressless® Wing Recliner featuring the Cross Base and Ottoman by Ekornes. A beloved Norwegian design icon since 1994, the Wing’s traditional high-back wing chair silhouette is masterfully updated here with a sharp, urban metal foundation.
1. Stately Mid-Century Lines Meet Industrial Metal
The Wing is legendary for its bold, sculpted upper profile. Emphasizing a traditional British wingback shape, it features flared side “wings” at the headrest, a tailored back, and elegant sweeping armrests. This structured shape provides a cozy, sheltered feel that makes you feel completely secure while lounging. It is a highly visually commanding silhouette that works brilliantly in contemporary, transitional, or minimalist spaces.
By pairing this stately upper with the Cross Base, Ekornes gives the traditional wingback a light, architectural lift. Replacing the heavy wood pedestal with a star-shaped metallic base, this model floats in your room. Crafted from polished chrome or matte black aluminum, and accented with subtle timber veneer detailing, it perfectly balances modern industrial aesthetics with organic warmth.
2. The Core Differentiator: BalanceAdapt™ Weightless Rocking
As a manual recliner, the Wing Cross operates completely free of electrical cords, buttons, or motor noise. The base uses your body’s natural physics to drive two highly responsive kinetic comfort systems:
- BalanceAdapt™ System: Built directly into the core of the star-shaped base, this mechanism allows the entire chair to rock gently. As you shift your body weight, the seat and backrest angle adjust automatically, keeping you in perfect, stress-free equilibrium.
- The Glide™ System: This system works in perfect harmony with the rocking motion. Once you adjust the knurled side tension wheels to match your body weight, reclining is completely intuitive, simply lean back to recline and sit forward to return to an upright position.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements
Beneath the tailored upholstery, the Wing Cross houses advanced, patented systems engineered to protect your spine and joints:
- Flared Headrest: The signature wingback design offers cradling head and neck support from side to side, providing a cozy cocoon if your head lolls during a quick afternoon nap.
- The Plus™ System: As you recline or rock, the internal steel skeleton automatically adjusts. It continuously increases lumbar support to keep your lower back aligned, while gently tilting the head cushion forward so your eyes remain comfortably focused on a book or television.
- Responsive Footstool: The separate ottoman features a matching metal cross base. It has a built-in tilt function that shifts with the angle of your legs, easing joint pressure on your knees and improving lower-body circulation.
- 360-Degree Swivel: The star base houses a whisper-quiet, frictionless swivel mechanism, allowing you to easily rotate the entire chair with a simple nudge.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Wing provides exceptional back height and head support while maintaining a highly tailored, streamlined width. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:
- Width: 33.1 inches
- Depth: 29.5 inches
- Maximum Height: 41.3 inches
- Seat Height: 17.3 inches
Design Note: The metal and wood composition of the Cross Base is highly adaptable. Choose a wood finish for the base accents that matches your floorboards or shelving, and coordinate the metal frames with nearby lighting fixtures or cabinet pulls.
5. How the Wing Cross Compares
To ensure this exact build is the perfect match for your lifestyle, consider how the Wing compares to alternatives:
- Compared to the Wing with Classic Base: The Classic base is constructed entirely of wood and does not rock or tilt. If you prefer a completely grounded, firm, and stationary sit, choose the Classic. If you want a soft, fluid, and soothing rocking motion, the Cross Base is the necessary choice.
- Compared to the Consul or Mayfair Cross: The Consul is a firm, highly structured minimalist chair, and the Mayfair is a soft, cloud-like cradle. The Wing sits on the firmer, highly supportive side of the spectrum, appealing to those who want solid spinal alignment and a structured sit paired with a classic wingback aesthetic.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Meticulously hand-assembled in Norway to ensure lifetime durability, your investment is safeguarded by an elite warranty program:
- 10 Years: Internal steel reclining mechanism and frame.
- 10 Years: Molded cold-cured polyurethane foam (ensuring the seat cushions never lose their supportive shape).
- 5 Years: Wood and aluminum components of the Cross Base.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Elevate Your Lifestyle
The Stressless® Wing Recliner with the Cross Base and Ottoman represents a brilliant achievement in modern design and orthopedic engineering. By pairing a majestic, classic wingback silhouette with a beautiful, rocking star-base, it delivers an active, refreshing seating experience that keeps your body feeling aligned and completely at ease.

Materials
Paloma: Paloma is a slightly corrected leather with a combination of dyes and pigments that smoothes some of the leather’s structure (grain pattern). However, the grain structure of Paloma may vary slightly in some parts of the furniture, and minor colour nuances may also occur. Natural marks, scars, and insect bites remain and will appear in Paloma. A thin coat of lacquer gives Paloma some protection and simplifies cleaning, but Paloma does not have the same heavy-duty quality and protection as Batick and Cori. Due to its soft, natural, and comfortable expression, Paloma is a very popular choice.
Batick: Batick is a corrected, pigment-improved, and grain-embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed. Batick may have a two-tone colour effect to liven up the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, although changes in colour will occur over time with use and exposure to light. A protective layer of lacquer simplifies cleaning. Simple cleaning, excellent utilization properties, and a favorable price make Batick a good choice.
Noblesse: Noblesse is the most exclusive quality leather offered by Stressless. A full-grain semi-aniline, it is dyed all the way through and has only a thin protective topcoat. This enables the leather to retain the natural softness and luster that characterises first-class furniture leather. A natural material like Noblesse retains its original grain and structure. Minor colour nuances and skin blemishes may also occur. Such individual details may lead to slight variations in different parts of the furniture. Although the topcoat provides a certain level of protection, Noblesse is the most delicate of the leathers used by Ekornes. It absorbs moisture easily and is more vulnerable to wear and tear, heat, sunlight, spills, and perspiration. Regular maintenance is important to maintain its attractive appearance.
Daisy: Daisy is an exceptionally soft and comfortable fabric made from recycled bottles. The silky-soft fiber is weaved with a light structure and a soft pile. The harmonious colour palette has a nice sheen and play created by a weave with different nuances and structure. Daisy is a good choice if you are looking for a sustainable and strong fabric with a soft touch and easy maintenance.
Dinamica: Dinamica is a well-known micro fibre-quality fabric, with an appearance that resembles suede leather. It is soft and very comfortable, breathable and non-static. Easy to keep clean and highly wear resistant.
Calido: Calido is a wool fabric with an exclusive look and feels comfortable and soft next to your skin. The fabric is available in a diverse and exclusive colour palette. Wool is a natural fibre that breathes, making it feel warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot.
Grace: Grace is a hardwearing fabric made from syntetic fibres. The soft, silky texture provides a fine sheen and an attractive interplay of colours. It has a high wear resistance, long durabilty and is easy to clean.
