The postmodern Varier Ekstrem is not only an elegant guest chair, but functions as a sculptural piece! Designed during the 80s, the Ekstrem Movement Chair was a challenge to the conventional Scandinavian designs of the time. Combining aesthetics and ergonomics, the Ekstrem Movement Chair allows you to sit forward with your feet on the ground, sideways with your feet on the armrests, or backward leaning into the back of the chair. Whatever way you choose, you'll be comfortably cradled by this soft "Knit", bespoke woolen upholstery textile by Norwegian Devold. Ekstrem is a sculptural seat that offers a sitting experience out of true luxury. This is a rare and highly specialized chair and cannot be returned to us unless deemed defective or damaged during delivery. If you have any questions about this Ekstrem chair for sale, from its versatility to its design, please call any of our team members to discuss it at 888-355-4999.

Movement is life, and to live is to move. As a species, we have become so successful at surviving that we created environments where there is no real need to move. The Varier chair is our new friend, and we go from A to B using machines. Sounds good right? Well, not really. The problem is that our DNA has not, over the course of thousands of years, had a chance to adapt to our modern, sedentary lives. Our physiology craves movement. Simply take one look at the statistics regarding low back, neck, and shoulder pain, and you will see that the cost to society is staggering, and rising rapidly. Sitting has become the new smoking. Gluing our butts to traditional chairs leads to a whole host of physiological problems that include decreased muscular activation in the legs, lowered insulin sensitivity, increased risk of back prolapse due to the stretching of the posterior spinal discs, and disturbed breathing patterns, to name but a few.
"The origin and ultimate reason for the brain's existence is not to help us think or feel or create art but to control the movement of the body" - Daniel Wolpert
What we need is movement, and I'm not talking about the frantic Weekend Warrior-ism currently in vogue. No, what we need is a middle ground. Too-little movement leads to tissue stagnancy; muscles shrink and become reflexively tight creating pseudo-stability. Holding bad positions statically for long periods, like sitting hunched over a desk, lead to low-level chronic shear loads across tissues. This creates inflammation and muscle pain; Both of which, you guessed it, aren't awesome. Too-much movement of a very high intensity could potentially damage structures, such as when you break a bone or tear a tendon. Clearly, the path to health is somewhere between the two.
"Motion is lotion" - A wise man somewhere
The traditional method of tackling this problem has been to either encourage a better posture through improved ergonomics, or to simply get people moving more. The idea behind improving seated posture is to place your joints in a position where they are biomechanically strongest against the pull of gravity, thus lowering the net forces impacting the spine, and hopefully reduce the chance of pain occurring. While optimizing posture is critical, what is even more important is avoiding stagnancy.
“There is no optimal position you can hold forever. It is simply not possible. A good posture will allow you to sit longer without pain, but it will never trump the benefits of moderate, low intensity movement. This is where Varier marries the best of both worlds, with chairs that not only seek to optimize the user's posture, but that continuously encourage movement throughout the day”. -Coach Eddie
Simply using the Varier desk rocking chairs lead to benefits over normal chairs, and your joints will begin to feel a lot better. Don't miss your opportunity for comfort and try a Varier chair today.

Other conditions that could affect the Extended Guarantee:
The cushions will change form following normal use and age. This must not be confused with loss of elasticity which can be attributed to a fabrication fault. The cover (both material and leather) will stretch as a result of normal use. This must not be confused with loss of elasticity which can be attributed to a fabrication fault. Folds and wrinkles may occur and are not grounds for a claim. Lack of cleaning could seriously impact the lifetime of the furniture. Any cover that is a synthetic material (for example, micro fibers) will on movement against the surface of the cushion, generate static electricity. This may prevent the cover reverting back to its original form after rising from the chair. The purchaser may perceive these as wrinkles or folds. However, these are temporary and can be removed by a single stroke of the hand. This must not be confused with loss of elasticity or problems with the shape which can be attributed to a fabrication error.
