Variable kneeling chair, light brown ash - Re-Wool 868

The Variable kneeling chair by Varier is designed to bring movement and ergonomic comfort to your working day. Its forward-tilting seat encourages a naturally upright posture, helping to reduce pressure on the lower back and ease tension in the neck and shoulders. Upholstered in high-quality fabric by Kvadrat, the chair’s curved wooden runners allow gentle rocking and dynamic sitting throughout the day.

Designed by Peter Opsvik, the Variable was the world’s first kneeling chair – an iconic pioneer in ergonomic seating. Launched at the Copenhagen Furniture Fair in 1979, it remains one of Varier’s most popular products. Lightweight, agile and easy to move, the Variable is ideal for both home and office use.

Varier is a Norwegian furniture brand best known for its chairs that encourage natural movement. Rooted in the belief that motion is key to better wellbeing – both at home and in the workplace – Varier designs seating that intuitively follows the body’s movements and supports dynamic, active sitting.

The collection includes several iconic models from the 1970s and 1980s, such as the Variable kneeling chair by Peter Opsvik, launched in 1979. These designs challenged the conventions of Scandinavian design and introduced a new, movement-focused approach to seating.
