Movement as part of design – Varier joins pCon.catalog
How we sit shapes how we feel. Oslo-based Varier has been challenging the idea of static seating since 2006. With a human-centered approach to design, the Norwegian brand creates chairs that encourage movement and variation, ultimately contributing to healthier living and working environments.
Now, this approach becomes directly accessible for interior designers and architects: 46 models from four product families are available in pCon.catalog. Whether used in the pCon.planner, in SketchUp, via browser or mobile device – Varier chairs can now be seamlessly integrated into your planning projects, quotations, and visualizations.
Varier’s portfolio covers a wide spectrum of uses and design scenarios:
- Recline: Ekstrem™, Gravity™, Peel™ and Kokon™ combine comfort and function with eye-catching forms that accompany the body through every stage – from active sitting to deep relaxation. Gravity™ even allows a weightless reclining experience.
- Kneeling: With the iconic Variable™, designed by Peter Opsvik in 1979, Varier are pioneers within the kneeling chair category. These models promote active sitting by encouraging the user to switch and vary between a wide range of positions.
- Sit-stand: Move™ and Move™ Compact, designed by Per Øie, enable smooth transitions between sitting and near-standing, making them ideal companions for height-adjustable desks.
- Dining: Actulum™ by Peter Opsvik and Social® designed in collaboration with Snøhetta, bring Varier’s movement-centered philosophy into everyday dining settings, combining comfort with a distinctive design language.
By offering these products with high-quality 3D models, materials, and different colors in pCon.catalog, Varier provides planners with more than just geometry. The data reflects a design approach that prioritizes well-being and sustainability – from locally sourced materials to timeless forms that adapt to the human body.
For architects and interior designers, this means new opportunities to design spaces where furniture is not only visually compelling but also supports healthier ways of living and working.
We are delighted to welcome Varier to pCon.catalog – and to see how their unique vision of dynamic sitting will inspire your future projects.
