Variable™ balans® from Variér® incorporates both a modern and timeless design. 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 work or studies. The chair is especially good when you have activities on the table in front of you, offering more comfort than traditional chair.

Variable™ balans® encourages natural and active sitting positions whilst the runners allow gentle rocking. The balans® concept makes it possible to work at a table without bending or straightening out the natural curve in the spine, because the upper part of the body remains in a natural position of balance.

Wing™ balans® is a less conventional working chair with wheels, swivel and tilt functions. Designed by leading Norwegian furniture designer Peter Opsvik.

A tilted seat together with a leg cushion gives a sitting position with a natural open angle between your thigh and torso. This automatically puts your spine into a natural position, which makes breathing easier and promotes well-being whilst seated. Wing™ balans® encourages a variety of sitting positions.

The Wing™ balans® is available in several colours, sizes and materials. These chairs are custom made and are shipped direct from Norway.

An ergonomic kneeling chair with backrest.

Kneeling chairs are specifically designed to helps ease your hips into a forward tilt position, encouraging an upright posture that correctly aligns your back, shoulders and neck. A concept originally designed in the 1970's, this style of ergonomic kneeling chair is really making a comeback, and its popularity continues to grow.

The chair’s pivoting back is both adjustable and removable, allowing you to change the height and depth for additional comfort. The chair has a pneumatic lift for height adjustments and the knee pad includes QDOS's own temperature-sensitive WonderFoam® for a luxury feel and extra support.

Kneeling chairs are very popular for many activities and tasks outside the office. You may find these chairs around a dining room table, in a child’s room, or in a study. People even practice their musical instruments while sitting on their kneeling chair.

Useful Tip:

When assembling your chair, we recommend spraying an oil based lubricant around the top and bottom of the chair cylinder before you add the seat and star base. In the event you need to take the chair apart, this will make the task much easier!

Superb quality, ergonomic features designed to custom fit, and now available in a choice of colours, makes this special kneeling chair a must have.

Sitting on a kneeling chair (or kneel sit chair) puts you in an upright position where your posture automatically improves and adopts the natural curvature of your spine. This way the gravitational pressure is equally divided between your discs, preventing excessive pressure on the lower part of your spine, as well as tension in your lower back and leg muscles.

The inclusion of a backrest is another great idea, particularly if you plan to sit in your knee chair for extended periods of time, as it’s adjustable for both height and depth to fit you properly. And removable too, so the choice is yours.

You’ll appreciate QDOS’s own patented formula visco-elastic foam (Wonderfoam) that provides unparalleled seating comfort and support because this temperature sensitive material moulds to your body shape every time you sit down, relieving pressure on your muscles and joints.

Ordinary foam features irregular cell shapes that simply compress under weight. But visco-elastic foam is comprised of billions of spherical, open cells.  Those cells sense body temperature and weight and then shift and re-organise their position to confirm to the exact body shape.

• Ergonomic moulded knee & seat pads relieves pressure on the spine
• Superior comfort and style combined

The Jobri Deluxe swivel style kneeling chair helps reduce your lower back pain.

Based on a concept started in the 1970's in Scandinavia, tens of thousands of kneeling chairs have been sold worldwide in various styles and designs.

The perfect combination of ergonomics and elegant style for your office or home environment.

Ideal for those who suffer from back, hip, prostate, or other lower torso discomforts while using traditional chairs.

Sitting on a kneeling chair puts you in an upright position where your posture automatically improves and adopts the natural s-shape of your spine and relieves compression of your vertebrae and discs, as well as tension in your lower back and leg muscles.

Also, by adopting the kneeling seating position it allows your diaphragm to move efficiently and promote better breathing and blood circulation. In turn you will also gain increased energy and concentration and just feel healthier in this dynamic seating position. Long term use also promotes fitter back muscles.

Kneeling chairs are also good for pregnant women, particularly in later stages of pregnancy, as less pressure is placed on the womb when the angle between the trunk and thighs is increased.
