Varier Furniture

"A chair is an invitation to move."

Varier Furniture is a Norwegian furniture company based in Oslo, specializing in the development and production of ergonomic chairs and seating solutions. The company was founded in 1979 and is known for its innovative and often unconventional designs aimed at promoting movement while sitting.

The core philosophy of Varier can be summarized as follows:

  • "A chair is an invitation to move." Varier believes that the human body is made for movement and that static sitting has negative effects on health and well-being. Therefore, all their chairs are designed to encourage changes in position and natural movements, rather than imposing a single "perfect" posture. They believe that the "next position is always the best."
  • Balance between form and function: Varier places great emphasis on creating furniture that is not only ergonomic and functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Their designs are often sculptural and timeless, consciously breaking with common conventions.
  • Human-centered design: Varier's products are designed to promote the well-being of the individual. This is reflected in the careful selection of colors, textures, materials, and shapes.
  • Sustainability: Varier is committed to ethical practices and sustainability. They use materials such as EU Ecolabel-certified fabrics, Oeko-Tex-certified microfiber, leather produced without harmful chemicals, and wood components treated with water-based lacquers. The longevity of their products also contributes to sustainability.

Famous products and concepts:

Varier is famous for its unique seating solutions, including:

  • balans® concept: Many of their chairs are based on the balans® concept co-developed by Peter Opsvik (kneeling chairs like the Variable™ and Thatsit™), which promotes an open and dynamic sitting posture.
  • Varier Variable™: The iconic kneeling chair that allows subtle movements through its curved runners.
  • Varier Move™: A saddle stool or standing support that invites active sitting and standing.
  • Varier Gravity™: A multifunctional chair that transitions from an upright position to an almost floating reclined position.
  • Varier Ekstrem™: An unconventional and sculptural chair that allows for different sitting positions.

Varier works closely with renowned Scandinavian designers, including Peter Opsvik, who has significantly shaped Varier's identity. Varier's products are known not only for providing comfort and health benefits but also for being design classics that transcend trends.
