Experience the pinnacle of Norwegian ergonomic design with this authentic vintage Stokke Varier Sitwell "Thatsit" balans chair, a true icon of Scandinavian craftsmanship and functionality. Marked and verified as 100% original, this chair represents one of the earliest models of the renowned "Thatsit" balans series, designed by the legendary Peter Opsvik and produced by Stokke, a company synonymous with innovation and quality. Key Features: Original Stokke Chair: Fully marked and confirmed as an early edition, purchased in Norway near the historic Stokke factory. Ergonomic Excellence: Designed to promote dynamic sitting, support the spine, and encourage movement, this chair was a revolutionary step forward in ergonomic furniture when it debuted in the 1990s. Superior Craftsmanship: Built with a curved wood base, durable red upholstery, and adjustable backrest and knee rests to ensure comfort and posture optimization. Condition: Very good vintage condition with less wear than typically expected for its age. The wooden runners and upholstery are well-preserved, making this a highly collectible piece. Provenance: This chair holds a unique connection to the Stokke factory in Norway. Purchased locally, it embodies the heritage of Norwegian furniture design. As a personal note, I know several individuals who worked at the factory during its peak production years, further enhancing its authenticity and historical appeal. Additional Information: Rarity: Early models of the Stokke Varier Sitwell "Thatsit" chair are increasingly rare, especially in this condition, making it a sought-after piece for collectors of mid-century modern and Scandinavian design. Dimensions: Width: 56 cm Depth: 92 cm Height: 93 cm Weight: Approx. 14 kg Versatility: Perfect for home offices, studios, or anyone seeking to combine aesthetic beauty with ergonomic comfort. Why This Chair Stands Out: The Stokke Varier Sitwell series exemplifies the vision of Peter Opsvik, who sought to redefine the way we sit. This chair was crafted to support natural movement and posture, blending functionality with timeless design. Its curved runners allow gentle rocking, reducing tension and promoting better circulation. Additional Items Available Soon: I will also be listing other Stokke-designed chairs, including two rare prototypes that never entered serial production due to high production costs. Stay tuned for these exclusive opportunities to own a piece of Norwegian design history. Shipping & Handling: This item will be securely packaged to ensure safe transit. International insured shipping with tracking for all orders. Considering the chair's rarity, condition, and provenance, this is an incredible opportunity for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of Scandinavian furniture. Closing Note: Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Norwegian design history. Whether you’re a collector, a design enthusiast, or someone seeking unparalleled ergonomic comfort, this vintage Stokke Varier Sitwell "Thatsit" chair will elevate any interior. Happy Bidding!
