SPECS

The Gravity™ Balans® kneeling chair includes a backrest in its design. The backrest features the same foam padding and fabric as the seat and knee pads. The backrest and adjustable neck-rest supports your upper body and keeps it perfectly cradled. It does a lot of the work for you, in terms of sitting up straight. This makes it easier to take a break from your work and relax for a few minutes. Having a backrest is pretty unique for a kneeling chair and it helps quite a bit to help you stay in an upright posture. Mix up your seating position by either kneeling, sitting, leaning, or lying down. |

Avoid scratches on your hard floors by using soft tape. Protect your chair and floor surfaces with this soft tape that applies to the runners of the Gravity™ Balans®. The color of the soft tape is a beige, similar to that of the wooden frame. To apply, you just attach the tape to the bottom of the runners to protect the base and your floor.

It is without question that Varier makes the highest quality kneeling chairs. The Gravity™ Balans® chair was designed by Peter Opsvik. Each chair is made from the finest in sustainable materials, hand built and inspected in Varier Furniture, Norwegian workshop outside Ålesund on the west cost of Norway. It is made from good quality beech plywood. This makes the frame light and strong. Molding the wood together increases its durability and reduces the chances for the wood to split. It also limits the amount that the wood expands and shrinks. The wood is finished with an ash veneer. It is sanded by hand and sealed with a clear lacquer. To protect the base on hard floors, Varier offers a soft tape option that's attached to the bottom of the runners. The seat, backrest, and knee padding are made from high quality polyurethane foam. |

Peter Opsvik said this about the Gravity™ Balans®: “It is not a chair, it is a way of life”. Traditionally people surround themselves with one kind of furniture for resting and another kind of furniture for performing activities. The Gravity™ Balans® is both highly conceptual and highly functional. It can be used in four different positions (as a kneeling chair, rocking chair, recliner, and a zero gravity chair). It supports the back and the neck while continuously promoting flow and movement in countless positions. The Gravity™ Balans® is a great statement piece for Scandinavian design connoisseurs but what usually sells it the most to people that don’t know about it and people that know about it alike is the fact that it is incredibly comfortable. When lying in “resting” position you actually feel weightless. Perfect for you and your thoughts.

There are a few reasons why the Gravity™ Balans® has a very comfortable seat. The first is that it features a large seat and it is a normal rectangle. There are no awkward cutouts, so you have a large sitting surface. It is the closest in size to a normal office chair compared to other chairs. It also has a good amount of padding. The padding is high quality polyurethane. It holds its shape well and doesn’t bottom out. The recycled polyester fabric is also comfortable to the touch. The seat on the Gravity™ Balans® has a slight forward slope. The angle is closer to a normal office chair. The seat gives plenty of space and offers supportive padding.

The Gravity™ Balans® can actually function as a kneeling chair, which is among four different positions. The knee pads feature the same padding and fabric as the seat, so they are also going to be high-end. They are thick enough to provide good support for multiple hours. It makes a big difference to have the knee pads separated from each other. By having your legs angled slightly outward, compared to close together and straight forward, it could be a more comfortable experience. The flexible frame also makes a big difference in being able to move your knees around while sitting. |
|
The Varier Gravity™ Balans® chair performs in four (4) different positions depending upon the mood and the task. Lean forward and the chair functions like a traditional kneeling chair. Lean back a notch and it's a traditional 'hangin out' kind of chair. Back again and it's the ideal position for reading or watching video. All the way back and it's zero gravity. Take a nap, meditate or rest. It will cradle you in a position of near weightlessness. Previously marketed under the Stokke brand, this Varier chair is the result of evolved branding and is the original style and model.
