Stokke AS is a Norwegian manufacturer of children's furniture and accessories, founded by Georg Stokke in 1932. Stokke is known for producing the Tripp Trapp[1] adjustable high chair, the best-selling item of furniture in Norway,[2] developed by the Norwegian furniture designer Peter Opsvik[3][4] and launched in 1972.
In cooperation with Hans Christian Mengshoel, Peter Opsvik also designed the original Balans kneeling chair, produced by Stokke, launched in 1979.[5]
In the 1980s Stokke produced the iconic 'Ekstrem' lounge chair, designed by Terje Ekström in 1972.
The part of the company that manufactures ergonomic office chairs is now a separate entity called Varier Furniture.
In December 2013 it was announced that NXMH, the investment arm of the Korean holding NXC, was to buy the company from the Stokke family.[6][7][8]
