About This Product

Description

Designed by Terje Ekstrøm for Varier, Ekstrem is not merely a chair, but rather a stand-alone object. It represents one of Norway’s first postmodern designs. Its unexpected geometrics allows you to sit forward with feet on the ground, sideways with legs placed on the armrests or completely backward with the front of the torso against the chair’s back. A sitting experience that can only be described as out of the ordinary.

Ekstrem consists of a steel frame covered in soft foam and woolen knit upholstery. It is available in six colorways in Knit, a bespoke woolen upholstery textile by Devold. Knitted from one continuous thread, it provides an elasticity that is essential when fitted to the chair’s organic shape. The knitted fabric is soft, breathable and features a classic quadratic pattern.

Each Ekstrem Chair is handcrafted in Europe.

Key Features
  • Material and Craftsmanship: Built on a robust steel frame covered with soft polyurethane foam and upholstered in bespoke woolen knit fabric by Devold, offering both comfort and durability. The upholstery is crafted from a continuous thread, providing excellent elasticity to fit the chair’s organic form.
  • Design and Colors: Available in several colorways, including black, grey, sulphur, and shaded spruce. The fabric showcases a classic quadratic pattern, enhancing the chair’s visual appeal.
  • Ergonomics and Functionality: Designed to promote movement while sitting, the Ekstrem provides excellent support for long periods. Whether used for relaxation or work, the unconventional design invites users to switch positions easily.
