Designed by Per Øie in 1984, the Move is an ergonomic office chair in the Varier collection that allows for an exceptionally wide range of movement. With its convex wooden base, a rounded seat, and a height-adjustable gas lift, this ergonomic office chair prompts you to actively find and keep your balance while still providing you with the support you need to remain comfortable.

The Varier Move is the perfect companion for a height-adjustable desk or when engaging in activities where freedom of movement is essential. Some call it the Varier Move stool or Varier Move saddle stool, but whatever name you use, you’ll quickly call it one of your favorite pieces of furniture!

The Health Benefits of Active Sitting

Doctors and researchers know that too much sitting is bad for your health. It can decrease blood flow, slow your metabolism, cause or worsen pain, and increase your risk of an array of chronic health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.

However, significant periods of “chair time” are a necessity for many people due to their work, hobbies, or other reasons.

Active sitting is a happy medium between sitting stationary and getting up frequently to walk around (and consequently decreasing your productivity). It involves continual subtle muscular contractions to maintain your balance along with bigger movements forward and backward and side to side.

Getting away from your desk periodically is still a good thing, but using a chair that enables active sitting—like the Varier Move—is an excellent way to reduce the negative impacts of sitting. Plus, getting off of a Move chair is much easier than rising from a traditional chair.

Where Will You Use Move by Varier?

The Varier Move is often described as an office chair, and it does work well behind a desk. However, customers tell us they use their chair in a wide variety of settings.

Working on food prep in the kitchen and want to give your feet some relief? The Move chair is an excellent option. Spending time at your work bench or craft table? Move is great for that. Watching TV but would love for your body to get a micro-workout while you do? Hop up from the couch and grab your Move chair.

Wherever and whenever you use Move by Varier, your body will thank you.
