On the Variable Balans kneeling chair your body is constantly encouraged to move.
Variable’s unique design and functionality makes it an icon that is instantly recognizable. The sophisticated kneeling design gently tilts your pelvis forward, which encourages a natural upright posture. With strong core muscles and minimal pressure on your spinal discs, your back and shoulders relax.
Find the ideal balance point for your body.
Place your weight firmly on the forward sloping seat of the kneeling chair, and one or both of your lower legs on, in front of, between, or beside the shin pads to vary your sitting position.

A great experience
Sitting on a Variable Balans kneeling chair offers a brand new sitting experience. Place your weight on your bottom when sitting, and on your shins when varying your positions. Your body may need time to adapt to the chair, take your time and gradually increase the time you spend on your Variable kneeling chair. We know that you’ll never want to go back to your old way of sitting!
Simplicity at its best
The Variable Balans kneeling chair is an iconic embodiment of Scandinavian simplicity. Designed as an open construction free of mechanical adjustment parts, the chair is light weight and can easily be moved around while requiring minimal cleaning efforts, making it a stylish companion which adheres to the demands of a modern lifestyle.
Find your balance
Together with the tilted seat, the gently curved wood ensures that the kneeling chair follows your body’s natural movement. When using the chair your muscles are stimulated, decreasing negative effects of static sitting. The kneeling chair encourages dynamic and active sitting positions, allowing the body to flow and find its own balance – just as nature intended.

How to sit on a Variable Balans?
It is important that most of the weight is on your hips and only about 10-15% is on your shins. Also, your kneecaps should not be touching the padding. This will help your back be more aligned and help you feel more balanced on the runners.

Great computer support chair
Perfect support chair for what I needed kind of expensive but you get what you pay for, excellent quality
SwimFather –
Almost perfect.
This chair is certainly making it more comfortable to work while I recover from an herniated disk. The form and the flexibility of the chair as you shift and turn is a wonder. The only two negatives are the price, seems unnecessarily high, and the fabric quality, after a week of moderate use the fabric is pilling. Made need to shave it from time to time.

Non-adjustable – might not even fit average person
I am of avergae height (5 ft 10), but for my body the distance between the knee rests and the seat is too short by a significant margin. if I sit properly I have to rest my legs on the lower part of the shins, if I place my knees properly, then I can only partially occupy the seat. Both scenarios tend to become quite unconfortable after a while.On the positive side, the build quality is very good.

It’s ok but comes with lice
It’s ok chair. Feels pretty good to sit and work on. But oh Lord! Did I pay twice for this cheap option.What nobody will tell you is that the fabric will start to pill like crazy. You really will be demobbing it as if it was a bloody cashmere cardigan to keep up the modern look from sliding into the frumpy dirty shed kind of. I mean for this price the manufacturer could have coughed up something lasting.I suppose it goes without saying that manufacturer – may they all have nightmares every night – has not bothered to include the option of stain protective cover so, if you are not a spinster or a bachelor, good luck at scrubbing away every little stain as I do.It’s been a couple of years now and I regret taking the one with fabric – I have the black one.Also it will start slowly but stealthily to destroy your solid wood floors, so carpet is a must underneath it. No wonder Stokke dropped all those like hot potatoes onto someone else – variable balans to varier – to keep afloat.

I have been using a high end office chair. I was continuing to have low back pain and muscle spasms, especially when standing up after sitting for an hour. My chiropractor told me to get a standing desk. I decided to try this kneeling chair. I have been using it daily for a week. My low back pain and the muscle spasm is gone. I have no back muscle tightness. And I have been surprised at the comfort of the chair.I adapted to the leg position quickly.What I did notice at the beginning was some muscle tightness and fatigue in my mid back, between my shoulder blades. I think this has been simply from a new position. That has significantly decreased over the week.I find the cushions/padding comfortable. Easy to sit and kneel on for hours.Easy assembly. It is sturdy. I’m 6 feet 2 inches and weigh 192 lbs.It is very lite to pick up and move.Sometimes I do rock on it. I like that feature.The height is perfect for me. Fits easy with my desk.I’m happy I bought it.
Cliente Amazon –
Sedia ottima!La sto utilizzando da anni ormai e non ho più avuto dolori lombari causati dalla cattiva postura durante lo studio. La sedia è molto semplice e i materiali sono di prima qualità . La sedia si monta nel giro di 10 minuti e non richiedi particolari abilità , all’interno è già presente la chiave esagonale per il montaggio. Il prezzo è elevato ma ne vale la pena, il legno non perde elasticità durante il tempo e anche i cuscini per la seduta e le ginocchia sono ancora in perfette condizioni. All’inizio il modo di sedersi può lasciare un po’ perplessi ma dopo essersi abituati ci si può rimanere per ore senza stancarsi.In conclusione, prodotto più che consigliato!

Irgendwie hatte ich mit dem Erwerb vieler Produkte Pech, sodass ich nun umso zufriedener bin, ein schönes, durchdachtes, wenn auch nicht ganz billiges Möbelstück erstanden zu haben. Diese Form ohne Rückenlehne kannte ich nicht aus eigener Erfahrung, kann sie aber nach vielen Stunden am Schreibtisch nur empfehlen! Es war nicht die geringste Umgewöhnung erforderlich, was mich selbst erstaunt hat.Erwähnenswert finde ich noch ein Detail, was die Philosophie der Hersteller schön zum Ausdruck bringt: Unter dem Sitz befindet sich versteckt in einer Lederschlaufe angebracht, ein Sechskantschlüssel, um die Schrauben bei Bedarf nachziehen zu können.Der erstmalige Zusammenbau war wegen der Passgenauigkeit eher ein Genuss als Arbeit, daran können sich Firmen wie Skandika ein Beispiel nehmen.
