Varier Variable Balans Original Kneeling Chair by Peter Opsvik (Dark Grey Revive Fabric with Natural Ash Base)

Original Kneeling Chair: Rethinking Sitting for a Balanced Posture

The Variable kneeling chair's unique design and functionality make it an instantly recognizable icon. Its sophisticated kneeling design gently tilts your pelvis forward, encouraging a natural upright posture. With strong core muscles and minimal pressure on your spinal discs, your back and shoulders relax, allowing you to find the ideal balance point for your body.

Sitting on a Variable Balans kneeling chair offers a brand-new sitting experience. You can place your weight on your bottom when sitting, and on your shins when varying your positions. Your body may need time to adapt to the chair, so take your time and gradually increase the time you spend on it. Once you experience the benefits, you'll never want to go back to your old way of sitting.

The Variable Balans kneeling chair is an iconic embodiment of Scandinavian simplicity. Designed as an open construction free of mechanical adjustment parts, the chair is lightweight and can be easily moved around while requiring minimal cleaning efforts, making it a stylish companion that adheres to the demands of a modern lifestyle.

Together with the tilted seat, the gently curved wood ensures that the kneeling chair follows your body's natural movement. When using the chair, your muscles are stimulated, decreasing the negative effects of static sitting. The kneeling chair encourages dynamic and active sitting positions, allowing your body to flow and find its own balance - just as nature intended.

All parts of a Varier kneeling chair are manufactured in Europe. The production process at Varier's longstanding manufacturing partner has been optimized to minimize waste.

We design for the human body. This means that the movements our chairs invite are the intuitive motions our bodies naturally want to follow. Our chairs encourage a variation of positions, as opposed to imposing a single perfect posture, because we know that there is no such thing. We believe that the next position is always the best. Ultimately, we wish to invite people to move, and make it an essential part of everyday life - even when we sit.

The ONLY original kneeling chair, designed by Peter Opsvik in 1979, now includes a FREE soft tape ($50 value) for floor protection, allowing you to avoid scratches on hard floors. With its Norwegian design and highest-quality wood, this kneeling chair is the perfect choice for those seeking a balanced and dynamic sitting experience.
