Here We Grow:

Stokke's long history of design and innovation began over eight decades ago on the west coast of Norway in 1932. Our values remain deeply rooted in our Scandinavian heritage and our commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Stokke is recognized worldwide for best-in-class solutions for children. For over forty years, we've combined our passion for Scandinavian design with the ability to challenge the ordinary and make beautiful products that nurture family bonding. Designed not only for you and your child, but for your children’s children, and generations to come.

Stokke has experienced considerable international growth through our strategic approach of acquiring products and brands. These acquisitions include the Nomi chair, LIMAS, a baby carrier company, Mukako, a multi-activity play table brand, and BABYZEN, the makers of the highly popular YOYO all-in-one lightweight stroller. Acquisitions is key for our growth and has allowed us to have office presence in Norway, Germany, The Netherlands, France, the US, and Asia, meaning we truly offer an international work environment and can stand by our brand promise Confident Kids for a better World.
