We start with the needs of the people we design for.

 

Each and every product IMG Norway makes is entirely produced within our own production facilities. This provides the necessary control to assure the standard of quality that is our hallmark. Specifically, we employ our own team of seating engineers and exhaustively test each design for durability, stability and effortless function, while maintaining the integrity of the basic eye-pleasing aesthetic. At IMG Norway form must not only flow with function, it must surpass any previous seating experience.

 

When we design we start with understanding the needs of the people we design for. The human body is the pattern for every piece of our furniture. We study the human body so we can develop and deliver furniture for daily use that balances creative design with comfort, health and space efficiency.

 

Most of our products are designed from the inside out by our highly integrated team of Norwegian designers and engineers. Strength, durability, stability, effortless function, beauty and endless comfort are the guiding star for all our products.

 

Our vision is to create and deliver products that offer an exceptional combination of comfort, quality and unsurpassed value. Through this web page we hope that you can see that our vision has become a reality - value, engineering excellence, a strong contemporary aesthetic and complete comfort.

 

 

Designed and engineered from the inside out.

 

Within every chair, every sofa — everything we offer is our passion for excellence. By excellence we mean that craftsmanship and comfort are equally essential to everything we offer. We start by designing all of our seating from the inside, out. In doing so we artfully combine the science of ergonomics with old-world craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology. This technology includes our unique mechanisms, cold-cured molded foam, lamination and welded steel frames. Although the core of our product development is Norwegian, the scope of what we offer is both broad and “international” — that’s why the word is in our name.

 

Fillings and Molded Foam

 

As with all interiors of IMG furniture, the choice of material is selected to ensure optimum performance. Each type of filling is individually assessed to provide the correct style and comfort for each model. Most of our product designs are based on cold cured molded foam cushion technology.

 

Cold cured foam molding is a process where the individual items are produced by injecting foam chemicals into specially shaped molds that allow the foam reaction to take place within the molds themselves. Through this process, molded foam parts will provide a better contour to the shape of your body. This is the key to our ability to design and manufacture unique and comfortable products that are ergonomically correct.

 

Building furniture components of molded foam element also gives significantly improved durability compared to other technologies. This type of foam will hold its shape and it allows for infinite design possibilities. Incredible longevity.

 

In cases where other foam and filling techniques are utilized, we always make sure the filling is soft and pliable so the furniture adapts to the individual’s body shape and as such, also provides optimal comfort.

 

Lamination

 

Most of our products and components are based on laminated wood construction technology. Utilizing a process called Ultra-Sonic wood lamination creates strong frames and allows us to create graceful designs.

 

The key to our ability to design and manufacture unique products with laminated wood components is a combination of old craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and innovative employees.

 

Tradition, is the mother of all progress. In Norway, woodcraft and furniture making has been a long time tradition. For half a millennium, the Vikings ruled the waterways with their ships that were built by Norwegian craftsman. Being masters of woodcraft, the Norwegians also invented the sport of skiing. Eventually, modern Vikings discovered that splitting the cane and building furniture components out of laminated elements exceptionally improved the furniture’s durability and comfort. This unique method also allows for infinite design possibilities.

 

Environmental and consumer friendly glue and chemicals are used in the production process. We use light colored wood like beech with an attractive grain to make veneer and laminated parts. They are highly suitable for staining in various colors.  IMG offers therefore a wide range of colors to suit your individual and unique wish for style and appearance. The staining process is also environmental friendly and done with water based colors and a top coat without hazardous chemicals.

Built to last.

 

Three words describe our manufacturing difference: BUILT TO LAST! There are no shortcuts to producing the very best seating. Designing for ultimate comfort is one thing, but using only the highest quality materials is another. Get both with IMG. Each and every chair and sofa meets or exceeds the international standards set by BIFMA and Norsk Mobelfakta which makes us responsible members of the global manufacturing community for improving the environment.

All products and components are produced entirely by our own production facilities – including steel, foam and wood.

 

Our vision is to manufacture truly comfortably high quality furniture - through combining the best of the past with continuous improvements as we pursue perfection.

 

We are devoted to manufacturing high quality furniture components and furniture products for customers who appreciate quality, comfort and functional design. This is something we undertake with care, with love and with great pride throughout all steps in the production process.

 

Furniture should last for years and stand the test of time. IMG has therefore implemented a world-class quality management system and all our products have been quality and strength tested to at least meet the standards set by BIFMA, GS TUV and Norsk Mobelfakta. 

 

We show great respect for good craftsmanship and leave our mark on every single piece of furniture – of the person who last handled it. This mark is the fingerprint of a proud producer and is also your guarantee that the furniture from IMG is built to last.

  

Being responsible and caring for our global environment.

You should also know about our commitment to the environment, and the health of our customers as well as our employees. We are aware of the environmental effect of our production processes and product lifecycles and IMG continuously work towards being as environmentally friendly as technologically practically possible. 

 

Out of respect for you and the environment, the best thing that we can do is to make furniture that is long lasting. 

 

To protect our environment we regularly assess the whole life-cycle of our production with focus on the type of raw material used, production processes, waste, use and disposal. We work diligently towards achieving reduction in the use of substances that could be harmful for the environment and the health of our employees, partners and customers. 

 

Creating sustainable products by using eco-friendly wood and raw materials, reducing waste factor and the energy consumption in our production processes as well as extending the useful lifetime of our products and recyclability are other focal points.
