Peter Opsvik

Peter Opsvik has been challenging traditional seating ideas since the 1970s. His ergonomic chairs are based on the philosophy of freedom of movement, which contrasts with conventional chairs that force the user into a fixed position and a posture. Following the principle "the next position will always be the best", Opsvik designed icon chairs and stools such as Variable Balans by Varier that follow the natural movement of the body, which leads to an overall wellness for either workers and students and help improving back pain.
