Stokke - Peter Opsvik - Chair - Variable - Wood, Textile - Ergonomic chair.

Ergonomic “Variable” chair designed by Peter Opsvik and manufactured by Stokke (now Varier Furniture). The Norwegian designer created this chair in 1979 with the aim of breaking away from the traditional concept of static seating and creating a new type of chair that encourages the body’s natural movement. It soon became a design icon of the ’70s and ’80s and is still one of the best-selling and most widely used models among those looking for an alternative ergonomic chair. This innovative chair is designed to promote an active, correct posture and reduce back strain while seated: its rocking design allows the body to move gently back and forth, enabling the spine to assume a natural position, reducing tension in the back muscles and improving blood circulation. The padded knee supports are a distinctive feature of this chair. Its frame is made of laminated beechwood, which is lightweight yet sturdy, while the cushions are upholstered in fabric, green in this case. A chair like this is particularly suited to people who spend a lot of time sitting, for example in an office, at home, or in a studio. It is also ideal for activities such as reading, working at a computer, or other situations that require prolonged sitting. The minor defects are visible in the last two photos.
