Variable™ balans® Kneeling Chair with Backrest
Variable™ balans®. The classic Balans® that caused a sitting revolution. In 1979 we launched a sitting revolution that spread throughout Europe and the USA, the groundbreaking Variable™ balans®. The chair reflected the playful spirit of the 1970’s with simple, dynamic, and ergonomic design. The chair is still very popular today, especially amongst students.
This unique sitting concept allows an open angle between your thigh and the upper part of your body, so it is easier to retain the natural curvature of the lumbar region. Active sitting allows a free flow of energy so you can pay full attention to your homework or studies. The chair is especially good when you have activities on the table in front of you, offering more comfort than traditional chairs.
We are created to move not to sit still
This also reflects our sitting philosophy. We have always focused on developing chairs that by letting you move provide well-being. When you move, you feel good. Both physically and mentally. As long as your body has a choice, it will choose movement over inactivity. Also when sitting.
That’s why we have made it our mission to develop chairs based on the movement philosophy. These unique sitting solutions encourage dynamic and active sitting positions, which in turn provide maximum comfort and well-being while seated.
The Comfort Store Best Price Guarantee On All Knee Chairs
When you sit on a Variable™ balans® you’ll use the wooden runners to distribute your body weight. This automatically straightens up and balances the spine properly over the pelvis. Using the shape of the runners the body weight will regulate the position of the chair and the knee pads will prevent the body from sliding forwards. This Balans® concept
was developed by designer Peter Opsvik and Hans Chr. Mengshol. Variable™ balans® was the first product to be produced based on this principle.
