Considered the original kneeling chair, the Varier Variable Balans has become a benchmark for all kneeling chair designs. Forward-sloped seats on curved runners support the body in a seated-kneeling position, allowing an increased angle between the thighs and torso. This encourages the body to naturally adopt the same spine curvature as when standing, relieving pressure from the vertebrae and letting you breathe more deeply and freely.
Humans were created to move, not to sit still. The Variable Balans promotes constant natural movement, keeping the back and abdominal muscles active at all times. While sitting, the user is actually strengthening the core muscles of the abdomen and back while easing tension in the neck and shoulders.
Ready for anything
Our kneelers are designed to put you into a natural, neutral position, facilitate movement, and leave you perfectly balanced for whatever comes next.
The optional Variable Balans back is ideal for users that will be spending extended periods of time in their chair. The back is easily removed and installed and is available in all four finish options.
Soft Tape
Soft tape is recommended for chairs that will be used on wood floors or other hard surfaces. The tape easily attaches to the bottom of the chair and helps to protect both the chair and the floor during use.
