Materials
Variable™ Plus 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.

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.
