Thatsit™
Peter Opsvik, 1991
Thatsit™ is an evolution of the original kneeling chair, Variable™. It is an adjustable kneeling chair with back support. Featuring a larger frame and adjustment possibilities, it ensures a comfortable sitting experience also for those of a taller stature. Thatsit™ is designed for seamless transitions between positions, providing support without ever restricting movement. It is an ideal task chair for long work and study sessions, or whenever you need to stay seated for longer periods of time.
Invites you to lean both in and back
With its concave backrest and curved wooden runners, Thatsit™ creates balance in all postures, offering support when leaning back, and shin support when working at a table in front of you. Adjustable features allows you to find the setting that best supports you, featuring a wider seat, a backrest, adjustable in both height and depth, and adjustable shin rests.

Please note that these are general guidelines. Every body is unique. Differences in height, proportions, and sitting preferences mean that comfort can feel different from person to person. Our chairs are thoughtfully designed to support a wide range of bodies and preferences, with the aim of everyone finding their own comfortable way to sit.
Materials
Thatsit™ is made from beech plywood. The plywood 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. All wooden parts are flexible and strong, ensuring a sitting experience that is never static. For a beautiful and durable finish, our plywood is covered with an ash top veneer, manually sanded and coated with water-based lacquers.

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.
