Stressless® Consul Recliner with Signature Base and Footstool
Curating a space that inspires both focus and profound relaxation requires furniture that speaks to modern sophistication. When navigating the world of luxury manual recliners, finding a silhouette that remains sleek while offering dynamic movement can be a challenge. This detailed guide explores the Stressless® Consul Recliner outfitted with the Signature Base and Footstool. By pairing the firm, tailored support of Ekornes’ most minimalist chair with their most advanced kinetic base, this configuration is a triumph of contemporary Norwegian engineering.
1. Structured Elegance Meets Mixed Materials
The Consul model is revered for its pristine, architectural lines. Unlike chairs designed with overstuffed, puffy cushions, the Consul provides a firm, highly structured sit. It is the ultimate choice for design purists, executives, and anyone who prefers a crisp, clean aesthetic in their home office or living room.
This structured upper is brilliantly contrasted by the Signature Base. This base design is a visual masterpiece that blends the cool, sharp look of cast aluminum (in polished chrome or matte black) with a sweeping, organic wooden ring. This fusion of metal and wood elevates the Consul from a simple minimalist chair to a striking, highly contemporary statement piece.
2. The Core Differentiator: The BalanceAdapt™ Experience
While the upper portion of the chair is all about structured support, the Signature Base introduces an incredible element of fluidity. It completely transforms the way the Consul feels by incorporating advanced kinetic technology:
- BalanceAdapt™ System: Built directly into the metal framework of the base, this system allows the entire chair to subtly rock. As you shift your body weight, the seat and back angle adjust dynamically. This creates a gentle, soothing rocking motion that promotes a feeling of near-weightlessness.
- The Glide™ System: The rocking motion works in perfect harmony with Ekornes’ classic Glide system. By adjusting the side tension wheels to your weight, you can effortlessly glide backward into a full recline without ever reaching for a lever or pressing a button.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements
The Consul Signature protects your posture with industry-leading internal mechanisms:
- The Plus™ System: As you rock or recline backward, the internal steel skeleton automatically reads your movement. It increases lumbar support and slightly tilts the headrest forward, ensuring you can read, work, or converse without straining your neck.
- Ergonomically Tilted Footstool: The accompanying freestanding ottoman matches the mixed-material look of the base. More importantly, it features a built-in tilt function that adapts to the natural resting angle of your legs, reducing knee strain and encouraging optimal blood flow.
- Smooth 360-Degree Swivel: The Signature Base houses a frictionless swivel mechanism, allowing you to easily rotate the chair to access a desk or engage with different parts of the room.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Consul is naturally a very compact chair, though the Signature Base adds a slight flare to the footprint compared to the Classic wood ring. Standard dimensions for the Medium size are:
- Width: 32.3 inches
- Depth: 28.0 inches
- Maximum Height: 39.4 inches
- Seat Height: 16.5 inches
Room Planning Note: Because of its firm support and compact footprint, the Consul Signature is highly favored as an executive reading or desk-side chair. It delivers massive ergonomic benefits without overwhelming smaller spaces.
5. How the Consul Signature Compares
To ensure this exact build meets your lifestyle needs, consider how it stands against other options:
- Compared to the Consul with Classic Base: The Classic Base utilizes an all-wood hourglass shape and is entirely stationary. If you prefer a completely firm, grounded sit with no swaying, the Classic is best. If you want the soothing, rocking motion of BalanceAdapt and a touch of modern metal, the Signature Base is the required upgrade.
- Compared to the Mayfair Signature: Both chairs feature the same rocking base. However, the Mayfair is deeply padded, soft, and overstuffed. The Consul is for buyers who specifically want a firmer, more supportive, and tightly structured seat.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Hand-assembled in Norway, your Stressless recliner is backed by one of the strongest warranties in the furniture industry:
- 10 Years: Internal steel mechanism and structural framework.
- 10 Years: Molded polyurethane foam cushioning (guaranteeing the firm seat will not sag).
- 5 Years: The aluminum and wood components of the Signature Base.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Bring Dynamic Support into Your Home
The Stressless® Consul Recliner with the Signature Base and Footstool proves that minimalist design does not have to be rigid. By pairing a tailored, structured seat with a fluid, rocking base, it delivers an active, highly supportive sitting experience that keeps your body feeling fresh.

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.
