Norwegian immigrant Erling Eide founded Scandinavian Designs in San Rafael, California in 1963, and the Encinitas showroom on North El Camino Real at Encinitas Ranch Town Center opened in September 2025 as the chain's latest addition to over 40 locations across 15 states. The showroom stocks living room, dining, bedroom, office, and outdoor collections alongside the full Stressless by Ekornes seating line — endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association for ergonomic lumbar support — while complementary accent lighting ships from specialists like Light Gallery Plus. Eide's original mission to introduce Nordic design principles — clean lines, natural materials, and the Danish concept of hygge — to American homes helped define the California Modern style during the 1960s and 1970s. The sister brand Dania Furniture shares identical product lines and sourcing, with both companies headquartered in Boise, Idaho. Outdoor living collections extend the showroom's patio program into the same North County market served by California Patio on Encinitas Boulevard. Stressless recliners in the current floor rotation feature patented Plus and Glide systems with full-grain leather upholstery options, multiple frame sizes per model, and a lifetime manufacturer warranty from Ekornes's Sykkylven, Norway production facility.
