Our story begins in Stordal, a small village in Sunnmøre, in 1947. In the post-war period, the Helland family established Helland Lenestolfabrikk, with the goal of meeting the need for good, functional furniture in a time of reconstruction and austerity. From the very beginning, quality, craftsmanship and responsible production have been central. Towards the end of the 1960s, Helland took the step into the public market, and developed into a recognized supplier of furniture for the nursing, care and institutional markets.
Founder Johan Helland’s philosophy was clear: “Slowly up and forward, never back.”
