Reimagining the way we sit

A legacy of movement

Throughout his career, Peter Opsvik devoted himself to exploring how we sit. He was curious about how chairs can support many natural postures, and make it easy to move and shift gently between them during the day. His designs are at the core of what Varier is - inviting movement and variation in everyday sitting. Celebrating his design icons, enjoy 15% off all Opsvik designs for a limited time.

The chair that changed the way we sit

With a tilted seat, two knee cushions and curved runners, Variable™ broke with all previous notions of how a chair should be designed. It represented something forward-thinking, it was fun, unusual - and most importantly - it felt good to sit in. Variable™ is the ultimate embodiment of our philosophy - a celebration of movement coupled with a rebilious disregard for norms.

The benefits of a kneeling chair

A kneeling chair invites the whole body to perticipate. Rather than settling into a static posture, the curved wooden runners encourage balance and gentle movement. Each shift in weight or change in foot placement introduces a new angle, keeping the legs in motion. This constant, dynamic activity supports healthy blood flow to the brain, which can positively impact energy, focus, and overall well-being.
