Dining chair
There is still no furniture producer that has taken clear ownership of both comfort and aesthetics in the dining segment. Variér has taken on the challenge and created a padded dining chair with a tilting seat. The Invite therefore has both a modern design and high comfort through movement and variation.
In addition to an integrated tilting mechanism in the chair, the front edge of the Invite’s seat is graduated, which reduces the pressure on the underside of the thighs. The combination of these two features makes the chair unique in its comfort in the dining segment. Users will perceive it as innovative that a dining chair possesses ergonomic benefits that are usually found in office chairs.
The form is elegant, refreshing and feminine. In addition to its functional role, a black zip makes the chair back appealing. The solid volume of the chair itself is in balanced contrast to the thin legs, which gives the chair a distinctive character. A good, attractive addition to the segment.
