The Varier Ekstrem chair is much, much more than just another piece of furniture. It’s also a standalone work of art and icon that enhances the style of any room it’s in. That’s a win-win for people who want to enjoy exceptional comfort in a beautiful space.
Ekstrem represents one of Norway’s first postmodern designs, and its popularity speaks to the company’s success in creating a truly unique piece of furniture/art. The unexpected geometrics of its unique shape invite you to engage with it in any of several ways.
Sit forward with your feet on the ground. Sit sideways with your legs placed on the armrests. Or do a full 180, and sit backward, essentially, with the front of your torso against the chair’s back. Whatever approach you take, you’ll enjoy a sitting experience that can only be described as wonderfully out of the ordinary.
A marvel of design and engineering, the Varier Furniture Ekstrem movement chair consists of a steel frame covered in soft foam and woolen knit upholstery. It is available in six colorways in Knit, a bespoke woolen upholstery textile by Devold.
Knitted from one continuous thread, it provides an elasticity that is essential when fitted to the chair’s organic shape. The fabric is soft, breathable, and features a classic quadratic pattern.
Note: Choose a color to see the lead time for shipping. Certain color options must be custom made in Europe and require 18 weeks for delivery. Customized items may not be canceled, returned, or exchanged.
Viewing pictures of the Ekstrem chair will likely pique your interest, but seeing it in person is when this delightful example of functional art will really grab you.
When you visit a Furniture For Life showroom, one of our friendly and knowledgeable Comfort Consultants will introduce you to the Ekstrem. They can provide more details on how it’s made, how you sit in it, and the benefits of using a chair that can support you in so many ways.
