Stressless® Wing Classic Power Leg & Back Recliner
Step into a world where historic, mid-century styling meets the absolute peak of modern automation. When curating a distinguished study, home library, or formal living room, selecting a piece from a collection of luxury motorized recliners is about finding that elusive balance of bold, head-turning aesthetics and premium orthopedic engineering. This comprehensive guide highlights the Stressless® Wing Classic Power Leg & Back by Ekornes. Initially launched in 1994, the Wing is globally recognized for its signature flared headrest and elegant, sweeping contours, now completely modernized with silent, integrated dual-motor power.
1. The Wingback Icon Reimagined
The Wing is one of the most visually distinct silhouettes in the Stressless lineup. It pays homage to the timeless, high-backed British wing chair, featuring flared side “wings” on the headrest, a deeply padded back panel, and elegant, sweeping armrests. This structured, stately shape offers a secure, sheltered sitting experience that makes it a spectacular focal point for traditional, transitional, and executive interiors.
This majestic upper is mounted to the classic wood base. Sculpted from premium laminated European beech wood into a beautiful hourglass ring, the Classic Base grounds your room with organic warmth and traditional Norwegian heritage. Customizing this solid timber base in our wide range of premium wood stains allows you to match your flooring, bookcases, or desk perfectly, keeping the high-tech interior of the chair entirely hidden.
2. The Core Differentiator: Smooth Dual-Motor Power
The “Power Leg & Back” configuration elevates this traditional wingback into a state-of-the-art relaxation system. By placing independent electric motors right inside the frame, the design completely removes the need for a freestanding ottoman:
- Independent Reclining Controls: Tucked neatly beneath the armrest, a sleek, tactile panel gives you independent control over your posture.
- Bespoke Comfort Settings: You can unfold the hidden, motorized footrest to elevate your legs and relieve lower-body joint pressure while keeping the back panel completely upright. Alternatively, you can recline the back into a deep resting angle. The dual motors let you find your exact comfort sweet spot.
3. Key Comfort and Ergonomic Enhancements
The Wing Classic Power protects your spine and joints with several advanced, built-in orthopedic mechanisms:
- Flared Headrest: The unique wing design provides side-to-side head support, cradling your neck perfectly if your head lolls to the side during a quick afternoon rest.
- The Plus™ System: As the motors adjust your angle, this internal steel framework actively reads your position. It automatically increases lower back support and adjusts your neck cushion forward, keeping your eyes focused on a TV or book without neck strain.
- Space-Saving Integrated Footrest: When not extended, the leg support folds neatly away under the seat. This eliminates the permanent footprint of a freestanding ottoman, recovering valuable floor space in smaller rooms.
- Discreet Cordless Battery: To preserve the clean look of your room without a power cable running across the floor, the chair is fully compatible with an optional rechargeable lithium battery pack, allowing you to float the piece in the center of your room.
4. Dimensions and Spatial Fit
The Wing is a beautifully proportioned model that offers exceptional back height for taller users while keeping its width remarkably tailored. The standard dimensions for the Medium size are:
- Width: 31.5 inches
- Depth (Upright): 30.7 inches
- Depth (Fully Reclined & Extended): Approximately 61.5 inches
- Overall Height: 41.3 inches
- Seat Height: 18.5 inches
Comfort Note: Because the power model houses the motor framework, the seat sits slightly higher than standard manual Stressless chairs. This makes sitting down and standing up incredibly natural and easy, easing strain on your hips and knees.
5. How the Wing Power Compares
To ensure this exact configuration is the correct match for your lifestyle, consider how the Wing Classic Power compares to its siblings:
- Compared to the Manual Wing Classic: The manual version relies on the friction-based Glide™ system and a separate, movable ottoman. This Power model replaces the ottoman with a space-saving, built-in footrest and upgrades your movement to smooth, push-button control.
- Compared to the Reno or Magic Power: While the Reno and Magic are incredibly soft, heavily cushioned, and cloud-like, the Wing sits in the firmer, more supportive category. It is ideal for users who prefer structured spinal alignment, a firm sit, and a classic wingback aesthetic.
6. Uncompromising Build Quality and Warranty
Crafted in Norway with strict environmental standards, your chair is built to last a lifetime and is backed by an elite warranty:
- 10 Years: Internal steel reclining mechanism and frame.
- 5 Years: Laminated Classic wood base, molded foam cushioning, and all power motors/electronics.
- 2 Years: Optional rechargeable battery pack.
- 1 Year: Premium leather or fabric upholstery.
7. Experience the Classic Wingback Reborn
