Variér Furniture
HISTORY
In 1932 Georg Stokke started manufacturing furniture on the Norwegian west coast, near the famous Geiranger fjord. He was truly innovative, and was amongst the first to employ professional Scandinavian designers. Since then, products have come and gone, and much has happened.
However, the simple idea remains the same: If humans can move in a natural way, even when sitting, the body will feel better and possibly also last longer. This is why movement and variation remain the most important thing in everything we produce. When you buy a Varier product, you choose one of the healthiest chairs available. Or – as Varier likes to call it – intelligent sitting.
DESIGN
Movement and variation promote and renew strength. Energy, ideas and well-being are released through variation and movement. Variér® has built its unique sitting concept on this principle. The chairs give freedom for natural movements and variation so you can concentrate on the activity in hand, be it reading, listening, eating or simply relaxing.
Form – Variér® is known for developing chairs with a distinctive style, and for using materials which destine them to become future classics. A unique combination of aesthetics, comfort and technology ensures that the chairs are both amazing to look at and amazing to sit in. Variér® has a long tradition in working with acclaimed designers. They have worked together with some of Scandinavia’s most important furniture designers. Variér® chair designs stand out internationally and many have been awarded ”the stamp of good design” by the Norwegian Design Council.
Function – Variér® is known for developing chairs which inspire you to move naturally. Natural and variable ways of sitting enhances wellbeing of body and soul. They are often asked ”what is the best position to sit in?” The answer is: “The next position is always the best “.
Gravity™ balans® offers you the ultimate in comfort.
This recliner provides extreme relaxation for mind, spirit and body. Probably the closest you’ll ever get to zero gravity. "It's not a chair, it's a way of life" says top Scandinavian designer Peter Opsvik.
After resting a while, we want to be active, and after being active a while, we want to rest.
This unique chair offers you a variety of sitting positions both for active sitting and relaxation. From a comfortable working position to a reclined position and a feeling of almost weightless, choose any of the four wonderful positions - working, sitting, open and resting!
Watch the Varier Gravity Balans in action:
The sloping seat allows wider space between the thigh and the upper part of the body, while the leg cushions prevent sliding forward when working at a table.
When leaning back your legs will be lifted higher than your head providing you with the best position for relaxation and well-being! You'll probably take a quick nap!
