Active Sitting™ Collection 2014
Active Sitting
I sit in my car to work...
Life is a sitting marathon... by Varier速
...I spend hours sitting in the office every day...
...driving home after work...
...at the dinner table and on the couch...
...so join the sitting revolution!
Our chairs complement your body and encourage you to move, improving your health and well-being. We call it Active Sitting
Active Sitting “I spend most of my waking hours sitting. Why should I be forced to sit still?” – You shouldn’t! Since 1979 Varier® offers Active Sitting through innovative, ergonomic solutions, for adults and children, for your home and your work place. Many of us spend most of the day sitting: breakfast at the table, driving to work, sitting in the office, evening dinner, relaxing hours on the sofa, in the cinema, at the bar. And we all know the results: back pain, tension in neck and shoulders, headaches… Based upon the original kneeling chair, Variable balans® by Peter Opsvik, which revolutionized the world in 1979, we in many years have been developed a leading expertise in Active Sitting. Whether you are conscious about your body and want to prevent back pain, whether you are in need to relieve current back problems or whether you are simply looking for a good chair that provides true relaxation, Varier® offers a large range of products that suit your needs. Choose between recliners, lounge and dining chairs, pendulum chairs, saddle and kneeling chairs and take advantage of the benefits of Active Sitting. Benefits of Active Sitting Our core idea is very simple: we provide chairs that follow your body’s natural urge to move and keep it in its natural posture. With this, muscles are active and less tense, they ‘need to work’ and will thus be strengthened. Breathing is enhanced and blood circulation is active which increases concentration and your overall well-being.

Relax Effective relaxation through Active Sitting When a chair follows your body’s instinctive need to change position, when you can easily alter between activity and relaxation, when your body is supported where needed, when you simply enjoy well-being while sitting: then you enjoy effective relaxation – may it be in your recliner, your lounge or your dining chair from Varier®.
Prevent Strenghten back and reduce tension through Active Sitting Grant your body the benefits of Active Sitting: active core muscles, an upright and natural curvature of the spine, enhanced breathing and free blood flow. This will lead to a stronger back, reduced tension and higher concentration. To prevent back problems, find your preferred choice among our pendulum, saddle and kneeling chairs.
Relieve Relieve backpain through Acive Sitting Take advantage of a sitting position that reduces the pressure on your spine dramatically. This will relieve your current back pain. Chairs from Varier® support you on your way to a strong and healthy posture.

About Varier® The Company Varier Furniture AS is all about Active Sitting. Our chairs are based on the philosophy that your body was meant to move. Life has become a sitting marathon. When more and more people spend a large portion of their day sitting, why should they be forced to sit still? Active Sitting embodies our philosophy of healthy, intelligent seating that follows the body’s natural movements. Our chairs tilt, turn and lock exactly in the position you want to be in and keeps your body strong and healthy – every day, over and over again. VARIER® in facts and figures Varier was founded in 2006 from the Norwegian company Stokke. At that time the entire furniture collection from Stokke was established and re-branded in the Varier name. A private held company with Oslo based Credo Partners is the majority owner. More than 90% of our chairs end up outside of Norway and you can find them in over 40 countries globally. With subsidiaries in Italy and Germany and exclusive distributors in USA, Japan and South Korea we still think of our selves as a Norwegian company but with a high level of international competence and perspective. Some of our most iconic chairs were designed by Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik, amongst them the Variable Balans (1979) which is not only the original kneeling chair, but also the basis for our Active Sitting Philosophy. Since then we have strived to create inspiring, intelligent and active furniture with the purpose of creating a better lifestyle for the millions of people sitting down way too much everyday. We work with selected designers and professors to ensure the best possible Active Sitting experience and design. Varier has 75 dedicated employees working every day to providing the ultimate sitting experience. Our administrative head office and production facilities are based at the west coast of Norway focusing on providing the best possible quality experience. Oslo is the base for our Showroom and Management Office. Our Brand Principles Our chairs compliment your body and encourage you to move, improving your health and well-being.

Quality and ecological responsibility Maybe it is because of our Scandinavian origin and the daily view to the fjords but ecological responsibility we take for granted. We also take for granted that our chairs have long durability and that you enjoy it for many years. This is why we only choose suppliers, which meet our high demands in regards to quality and ecological awareness. Fabrics All our fabrics and covers are certified to be environmentally friendly and absolutely harmless to people both during the production process and later in use. Our wool fabrics, for example, come from Danish and Norwegian manufacturers and are certified at least with the EU-Ecolable “The flower”. They are all made of New Zealand wool, the only wool which does not need chemical treatment during the production process. Our microfiber is made in Italy of recycled bottles and certified with OekoTex. We choose very strong fabrics with high resistance to rubbing, no pilling and high light fastness. Leathers The leather we offer is aniline and semi-aniline. They have very nice natural grain. Our leather is chrome tanned and produced without the use of PDP and CFC. Wood parts For our wood components we use wood from Europe. We favour laminated wood as this is more flexible especially for our chairs with runners, but it also reduces the amount of waste. The lacquers are water based and free from toxic components. Foam Our Norwegian foam supplier, Sandella, produces foam without any harmful substances, such as CFC, polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) flame retardant, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or heavy metals such as Cd, Cr IV, Hg and Pb. Sandella foam was certified with the Norwegian certificate ”Eco-Lighthouse” for ecologically premium products. Metal parts The metal parts are manufactures with proper use of chromium; we only use trivalent chromium which during the process and later in use is completely harmless. Durability Durability, safety and strength of each product are also confirmed by the independent Norwegian institute Møbellaboratoriet AS: All our chairs have to pass the tests according to European standards before we launch them. A chair that lasts for many years means also less waste for the environment.
