Varier Variable™ Plus Monochrome Office Chair Designed by Peter Opsvik

The Variable™ Plus Monochrome is an office chair by Varier, designed by Peter Opsvik. This piece stands as a contemporary evolution of the iconic kneeling chair concept, distinguished by its seamless monochrome palette and sculptural presence within workspaces and home offices.

Refined in both form and function, the Variable™ Plus Monochrome exemplifies the ergonomic innovation that has defined Varier. Crafted with a continuous visual line from the curved wooden base to the fabric upholstery, the chair’s silhouette is accentuated by its single-color finish, highlighting its distinctive, minimalist character. The balanced interplay between the forward-tilted seat and supportive backrest—complete with a padded cushion—facilitates a variety of seated positions, in harmony with the body’s natural movement. Drawing from the balans® concept introduced by Peter Opsvik, the design encourages subtle shifts in posture, reducing tension in the lower back, shoulders, and neck.

Free from mechanical adjustment elements, Variable™ Plus Monochrome invites intuitive use and a lighter aesthetic. The gently curved runners promote gentle rocking, fostering active sitting throughout extended periods of work or study. Its versatile kneeling pads allow for diverse leg placements, supporting dynamic comfort and encouraging circulation. Ideal for modern work environments or creative studios, this chair introduces a vibrant, functional accent while nurturing physical well-being and a natural alignment of the spine.
