Inspired engineering, quality workmanship and superior comfort. These are all essential for creating ergonomic office chairs you can be proud to own. In our pursuit of innovation to improve your well-being, we have become experts in identifying the ergonomic needs of the human body. And so we continue to develop the most beautiful – and customizable – office chairs.
Surrounded by the majestic Rocky mountains, we use the local natural beauty to inspire our unique office chairs. Craftsmanship and the love of furniture production have been passed through 5 generations. We work hard – from developing classic, trusted pieces to trend forecasting – to find the next irresistible design. We truly understand what makes your office chair the perfect fit for your unique lifestyle.
Our products are much more than ergonomic office chairs – they are an investment in your comfort, your productivity, and serve as a statement piece for your home or office.
Every aspect of our chairs is created to give you that “uniquely made for you” feel – because it was. It’s what makes the LIFEFORM® name the number one choice in ergonomic office chairs that are made to last.
When you sit in a LIFEFORM® Chair, you appreciate the total experience – the skilled workmanship, quality components and the superior comfort. You can feel how our exclusive LIFE-Foam™ Memory Foam embraces your back and body, how the contoured seat redistributes your body weight to reduce pressure points in your legs. We’re proud of the innovation and dedication that goes into making each ergonomic design.
What truly sets us apart is that LIFEFORM® Chairs offers the unparalleled ability to custom build and personalize the style of the most comfortable office chair you can find. So it will fit in harmony with any space – your space.
For us, this level of design is simply our standard. Our mission is to develop the most comfortable ergonomic office chairs in the world. And, we stand behind our pledge: Your Chair. Your Way.
SURPASSING A 40 YEAR BENCHMARK
For five generations, the Mortensen family has been handcrafting furniture of the finest quality. During that time, we’ve proven our solid understanding of what it takes to build great products. Sumptuous leather. Sturdy fabrics. Precise stitching. Exquisite detailing. The best available components. Uncompromising craftsmanship. An emphasis on ergonomics. And an unrelenting willingness to stand behind every chair we build.
IN THE BEGINNING
1884 – 1957 JACOB MORTENSEN
J. MORTENSEN SADELMAGER OG MøBELPOLSTRER
In the hometown of Durup, Denmark, Jacob founded his own saddle making and upholstery shop.
1907-1997 EYVIND MORTENSEN
DURUP POLSTREMøBELFABRIK
After a fire destroyed Jacob’s factory, a new location was chosen in town and Jacob’s sons opened the Durup Upholstered Furniture Factory.
1931 – KAI MORTENSEN
FOOTHILLS UPHOLSTERY/INTERIORS BY KAI MORTENSEN
Immigrating to Canada in 1957, it didn’t take Kai long to follow tradition and open his own upholstery shop in Calgary. Foothills Upholstery – later know as Interiors by Kai Mortensen continued to be a well-known and respected high-end furniture store until Kai’s retirement in 2008.
THE TRADITION CONTINUED
1970’S – JOHN MORTENSEN & JOHN KRISTENSEN KAMOR FURNITURE LTD.
In 1976, following long-standing family tradition John Mortensen and John Kristensen, nephew and uncle respectively ventured out and
opened their own upholstered furniture shop. Then known as Kamor Furniture Ltd., they began by exclusively supplying Interiors by Kai
Mortensen with residential furniture. 1980’s During the early 1980’s the gradual transition from residential to commercial seating had begun.
Executive chairs, reception area seating and custom creations quickly became Kamor Furniture’s forte.
1990’s Eventually residential furniture was removed all together from Kamor Furniture’s factory. The objective was focused on ergonomic office and boardroom seating.
