The kneeling chair with back support
Variable™ Plus takes the original kneeling chair a step further with an upholstered backrest. Lean back and the backrest supports you; shift forward and the shin cushions carry you while you focus.
The runner curvature is optimised so finding and holding your balance feels effortless. The tilted balans® seat opens the hips and eases tension in the lower back, neck and shoulders – made for longer working days.
Highlights
- Upholstered backrest for leaning back
- Optimised runners: effortless balance
