DUX / DUXIANA

The bed in which he had spent the night surpassed anything he had experienced before and, gripped by curiosity, he took his penknife and made a neat cut in the bed's fabric (after a quick “chat” with his own conscience).

 What Efraim Ljung discovers both surprises and fascinates him, namely that the bed was built with flexible steel springs. Ljung carefully sews up the fabric, but brings back the memory of what he discovered in Sweden. 

Back in Lund, he began to concentrate less on the confectionery business and more on experimenting with steel springs of different strengths and elasticities. This eventually led to the creation of the first DUX bed with a unique technology that reacts to pressure and weight. 

Efraim Ljung had entered the small Chicago hotel as a chocolate manufacturer, he had left as a bed innovator.

Today, the Dux company is run by the fourth generation of Ljung, still manufactures its own mattress springs and operates several patented systems that are responsible for the exceptional quality of its beds. 

This know-how, combined with simple design and high-quality materials, has led to a strong presence on American soil since 1977. By the end of the 90s, DUX's reputation had spread throughout Europe, and even further afield, where this family-run business equips some of the world's most extraordinary luxury hotels.
