Furniture that provides the best way to relax, rest and recharge.

At H2 Seating, Nils Gunnar has brought together a team dedicated to creating premium comfort furniture. Lars Inge Jakobsen, a key partner at IMG, now leads H2 Seating’s operations in Norway and oversees development across the group. Together, they are positioning H2 Seating as a premier choice for high-quality, comfortable furniture worldwide.

This legacy traces back to 1941 when Otto Hjellegjerde established a Scandinavian furniture company dedicated to comfort seating. His grandson, Nils Gunnar, later expanded the Hjellegjerde Group into a global brand before the family exited following the company’s public listing. In 2006, Nils Gunnar became co-owner of Hove DK Co., Ltd., a contract furniture firm, and later founded International Möbel Group (IMG), specializing in recliners and functional furniture. Under his leadership, IMG became a global leader in motion furniture, recognized for its innovation and quality. After selling IMG to Ekornes in 2014, Nils Gunnar continued as a senior advisor and board director until stepping down in 2019. Now, Nils Gunnar is channeling his heritage, experience, and full focus into making H2 Seating the leading Norwegian brand of quality motion furniture.
