Gravity™

Peter Opsvik, 1983

Gravity™ is multifunctional without compromise. The chair was designed with the intention of accommodating both relaxation and productivity, allowing for postures ranging from kneeling to fully reclined, all in one single chair. Use it as a kneeling chair when leaning forward, lean back for an upright position, or recline all the way back until your legs are elevated above your heart. In this levitation-like position, the chair gently rocks in response to the rhythm of your breathing, allowing you to relax into weightlessness.

The many movements of Gravity™

Gravity™ accommodates a wide range of positions, from kneeling to fully reclined. Use it as a kneeling chair when leaning forward and shift your weight slightly backwards for an upright position, placing your feet on either the floor or shin cushions for variation. To assume a reclined position, gently push away from the ground and lean all the way back until your legs are elevated above your heart. In this levitation-like position, the chair gently rocks in response to the rhythm of your breathing and allows you to relax into weightlessness.

Gravity is made from top quality beech ply wood from European forests. The ply wood is treated through an iterative molding process where several veneer layers are combined and glued. Through the application of combined heat and pressure, the layers are given their characteristic shape, making our Gravity stand out from the crowd. All wooden parts are flexible and strong, ensuring a sitting experience that is never static. For a beautiful finish, our ply wood is covered with ash top veneer, manually sanded and coated with water-based, non-toxic lacquers.

Peter Opsvik

Peter Opsvik (1939 - 2024) was a Norwegian industrial designer, and stands as one of the most influential figures in ergonomic design. Throughout his career, much of which was spent as a freelance industrial designer, Opsvik shaped the way we think about comfort and functionality. Opsvik's philosophy and design approach are integral to the Varier identity, and we continue to maintain a close collaboration with his team, working with one commitment - to reimagine the way we sit.

Assume a reclined position by gently pushing away from the ground and leaning all the way back until your legs are elevated above your heart.

When Peter Opsvik designed Gravity™ in the early 1980s, his intention was to create a single chair which could accommodate as many activities as possible. Read on to learn more about the most eye-catching chair in the Varier collection.
