Variable™ is the original kneeling chair, designed to support movement and variation while seated. It follows the body’s need to shift and change position, allowing you to move freely between kneeling and more traditional postures. Built on the balans® concept, the tilted seat helps open the hips and can reduce strain on the lower back, neck, and shoulders.
The design of the Variable™ allows for customization of your sitting position. You can rest your shins on the two padded cushions, use them for support in multiple configurations, or choose a side-sitting position for a change of pace. The chair's simplicity, free from complex mechanical adjustments, makes it lightweight and easily movable, thus making it a versatile choice for any workspace. 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.
Personalize your chair to suit your style and workspace aesthetic by choosing from a natural or black finish and selecting from a wide range of upholstery fabrics and colours. The wooden components are meticulously crafted from layers of beech and ash veneer, providing both durability and a refined appearance.
Invest in the Variable™ kneeling chair and transform your sitting experience. Rediscover the joy of movement and maintain optimal posture and comfort. Embrace the freedom to rock, tilt, and customize your sitting position according to your preferences. Health professionals often compare sitting all day to the new smoking; using a Variable™ kneeling chair from Varier activates your core, hips, neck, and feet, keeping you subtly active even while seated at your desk.
