Stressless® Sunrise Recliner with Signature Base and Footstool

Step into a lighter, more refreshing lounging experience. When designing a contemporary interior, choosing the perfect handcrafted reclining chairs is about balancing modern architecture with target-oriented spinal relief. This comprehensive product guide explores the Stressless® Sunrise Recliner with the Signature Base and Footstool by Ekornes. By taking one of the most universally accommodating, supportive seats in the classic Norwegian catalog and pairing it with a fluid, rocking foundation, this model represents the ultimate investment in your daily physical recovery.

1. Harmonious Scandinavian Design

The upper silhouette of the Sunrise is defined by a beautiful, highly contoured backrest, rounded shoulder support, and padded armrests that slope down organically. It is engineered to follow the body’s natural curvature, providing a cozy cradle without the visual weight of massive, overstuffed cushions.

This balanced seat is beautifully elevated by the Signature Base. Combining a sweeping circle of laminated European beech wood with a curved framework of cast aluminum (available in polished chrome or black), this base makes the chair look visually light and modern. This mixed-material styling acts as a stunning design focal point in transitional, mid-century, or minimalist living spaces.

2. The Core Differentiator: Soothing Kinetic Movement

The Signature Base completely alters the physics of your relaxation, operating entirely manually without any electric cords, gears, or power motors:

  • BalanceAdapt™ System: Built directly into the wood-and-metal frame, this kinetic technology introduces a gentle, soothing rocking motion. The seat and backrest angle adjust automatically to match your body’s center of gravity, keeping you in perfect, weightless equilibrium.
  • The Glide™ System: This system works in perfect tandem with the rocking mechanism. Once you adjust the knurled side tension wheels once to your weight, reclining is completely intuitive. You simply lean back to recline and sit forward to return to an upright position.

3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements

The Sunrise Signature is packed with specialized, orthopedic systems designed to relieve back and neck tension:

  • The Plus™ System: As you recline or rock, the internal steel framework adjusts automatically. It continuously increases lumbar support to cradle your lower spine, while keeping the head cushion slightly tilted forward so your line of sight remains optimal for watching TV or reading.
  • Responsive Footstool: The separate ottoman mirrors the beautiful wood-and-metal design of the Signature base. It features a built-in tilt mechanism that automatically adjusts to the resting angle of your legs, helping to relieve knee pressure and facilitate lower-body circulation.
  • 360-Degree Swivel: A hidden, silent swivel ring inside the base allows you to effortlessly rotate the entire chair to engage with different areas of the room.

4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit

The Sunrise is highly valued because its proportions comfortably fit a very wide range of body shapes and sizes. The standard measurements for the Medium size are:

  • Width: 33.1 inches
  • Depth: 30.7 inches
  • Maximum Height: 41.3 inches
  • Seat Height: 17.3 inches

Design Tip: Because the Signature Base utilizes both wood and metal, it can be used to beautifully tie a room’s materials together. Match the wooden ring to your cabinetry or side tables, and match the aluminum frame to your light fixtures or metal table legs.

5. How the Sunrise Signature Compares

Understanding how the Sunrise Signature compares to alternative builds helps clarify your decision:

  • Compared to the Sunrise with Classic Base: The Classic Base features an all-wood, hourglass shape and is completely stationary. If you want a completely solid, stationary sit with no swaying, choose the Classic. If you prefer a soft, fluid, and soothing rocking motion, the Signature Base is the required upgrade.
  • Compared to the Sunrise with Cross Base: While both feature the BalanceAdapt rocking motion, the Cross Base uses a star-shaped metal design. The Signature Base softens this industrial aesthetic by incorporating a sweeping wooden ring, offering a warmer look.

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 cushions never lose their shape or support).
  • 5 Years: Wood and aluminum components of the Signature Base.
  • 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.

7. Experience Fluid Comfort

The Stressless® Sunrise Recliner with the Signature Base is a magnificent achievement in Scandinavian kinetic design. By pairing a balanced, highly supportive backrest with a beautiful wood-and-metal rocking base, it delivers an active, refreshing seating experience that keeps your body feeling aligned and completely at ease.

Functions

BalanceAdapt

Subtle rocking increases the comfort – it’s all about finding the right balance. With BalanceAdapt the sitting angle automatically adjusts to your body’s tiniest movement.

Base

Soft, comfortable rocking movements and a striking design in a wood and aluminium base. A delight for both the body and the eye. Available in sizes S, M and L.

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.

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.
