The Variable™ Plus represents a sophisticated evolution of the iconic Variable™ kneeling chair. This new model enhances the classic design by incorporating a fixed backrest with a plush upholstered cushion, encouraging users to experiment with a broader array of sitting positions while maintaining the exceptional functionality for which the original chair is known.
The Variable™ Plus is crafted to support various postures effortlessly. The backrest offers substantial support for leaning back, and when you shift your weight forward, the strategically placed shin cushions provide necessary support, allowing you to concentrate fully on your tasks without discomfort. This design not only facilitates long hours of work but also promotes a dynamic sitting experience that can lead to increased productivity and well-being.

A key feature of the Variable™ Plus is the optimized curvature of its wooden runners, which makes finding and maintaining a balanced position both intuitive and effortless. This feature ensures that the chair can easily adapt to any user’s movement, fostering an active sitting environment that counters the static nature of traditional office chairs.
The chair is compatible with any standard height table, making it a versatile option for various settings, from office environments to home studies. It is available in a choice of natural or black finishes and can be customized with a wide selection of upholstery fabrics and colours to suit any decor style. The construction of the chair utilizes high-quality materials, including layers of beech and ash veneer, which not only provide durability but also add a touch of elegance to its appearance.
Health professionals often liken prolonged sitting to the health risks of smoking; using the Variable™ Plus from Varier can mitigate these risks.

This kneeling chair is designed to activate your core, hips, neck, and feet, promoting subconscious movement even while seated. This continuous activity can help alleviate common problems associated with long periods of sitting, such as back pain and muscle fatigue, making the Variable™ Plus an excellent investment in your health and workplace ergonomics.
The balans design school was founded to combat poor physical health outcomes, but recently it has been identified that Neurodiverse
clients (challenged by ADHD, Autism and/or Dyslexia) seeking movement for improved focus, concentration and calm can find no better friend in seating than a chair that wants to move with them, rather than fight them.
