LIFEFORM manufactures office seating and wood furniture for the modern office environment. Founded in 1976, LIFEFORM initially built residential furniture, gradually moving into office furniture, which since the mid 1980’s, has become the entire focus of the business.

By incorporating principles instilled by the generations before them, LIFEFORM provides customers with a winning combination of quality products and customer service. LIFEFORM is strategically focused on long-term goals, as the success of a company cannot be measured by individual short-term accomplishments, but rather by years of consistency and progress.

HISTORY – Five Generations Past

Jacob Mortensen 1884-1957

In the hometown of Durup, Denmark, Jacob founded his own saddle making and upholstery shop.

Ejvind Mortensen 1907-1997

After a fire destroyed Jacob’s factory, a new location was chosen in town and Jacob’s sons opened the Durup Upholstered Furniture Factory. The factory is still owned and operated by the family today.

Kai Mortensen 1931
Foothills Upholstery/Interiors by Kai Mortensen

Immigrating to Canada in 1957, it didn’t take Kai long to follow tradition and open his own upholstery shop in Calgary. Foothills Upholstery – later known as Interiors by Kai Mortensen continues to be a well-known and respected high-end furniture store in Calgary today.

John Mortensen & John Kristensen
Kamor Furniture Ltd.

1970’s
In 1976, following long-standing family tradition John Mortensen and John Kristensen, nephew and uncle respectively, ventured out and opened their own upholstered furniture shop. Then known as Kamor Furniture Ltd., they began by exclusively supplying Interiors by Kai Mortensen with residential furniture.

1980’s

During the early 1980’s the gradual transition from residential to commercial seating had begun. Executive chairs and reception area seating quickly became Kamor Furniture’s forte.

1990’s

Eventually residential furniture was removed all together from Kamor Furniture’s factory. The objective was focused on functional office and boardroom seating.

Still a family owned and operated company – following five generations of furniture makers and upholsterers before them. In 2000 Kamor Furniture became LIFEFORM Furniture Manufacturing Inc.

LIFEFORM has expanded into new markets both locally and internationally, offering superior seating solutions which are tailored specifically to the individual’s needs.

Offering customization in function and aesthetics has given LIFEFORM the edge in the marketplace, providing customers with solutions they cannot find anywhere else.

LIFEFORM’s success is a result of the tradition of quality products and exceptional customer service.
