Varier is a Norwegian furniture brand founded in 1979 around the active-sitting philosophy of designer Peter Opsvik. Its chairs are engineered to encourage natural movement rather than static posture.

Where is Varier furniture made?

Varier is designed in Norway and manufactured in Europe, with frames built from FSC-certified solid wood.

What sustainability certifications does Varier hold?

Varier uses FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood across its frames and builds chairs designed for decades of use rather than replacement, which materially reduces lifetime resource consumption.

Does Varier ship from a US warehouse?

Yes. Varier orders ship from a Comosum US warehouse with standard freight nationwide. Trade pricing is available for interior designers, architects, and commercial accounts.
