Here We Grow:

Stokke’s legacy of innovation and dedication to quality spans over eight decades, beginning on the scenic west coast of Norway in 1932. Our values are rooted in our Scandinavian heritage, emphasizing craftsmanship and timeless design. Known worldwide for exceptional children's products, Stokke has spent more than forty years merging our passion for Scandinavian design with the drive to create products that foster family connections. Our designs are not only intended for today’s children but also for future generations, creating a legacy of comfort and quality.

Stokke has achieved significant international expansion by strategically acquiring complementary brands and products, including the Nomi chair, LIMAS baby carriers, Mutable play tables, and the YOYO stroller. These acquisitions have strengthened our global footprint, with office locations across Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the US, and Asia. Our commitment to "Confident Kids for a Better World" is reflected in our diverse, dynamic work environment.
