AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An absolute masterpiece of Scandinavian design and ergonomics: the famous Variable Balans kneeling chair, designed by the legendary designer Peter Opsvik for the prestigious Norwegian brand Variér.
​Introduced for the first time in 1979, this chair revolutionized the concept of seating. Thanks to its unique tilting structure, it encourages the "active movement": the chair follows the body's natural oscillations, aligns the spine and relieves pressure on the lower back, ensuring unparalleled comfort during work or study.
​Features of the piece up for auction:
​Brand: Variér (Norway)
​Designer: Peter Opsvik
​Model: Variable Balans
​Structure: High-resistance white lacquered bentwood (visible in detail in photos 1000174260.jpg and 1000174257.jpg).
​Upholstery: High grammage technical fabric in light grey/taupe, extremely versatile and perfect for any modern or minimalist office environment (top view available in photo 1000174254.jpg).
​Item conditions
​The chair presents in excellent aesthetic and structural condition. The wooden frame is solid, stable and free of structural defects. The fabric is clean, well tensioned and shows no tears or significant wear. A piece ready to be placed in a home or office.
