Peter Opsvik

Designing groundbreaking furniture since 1959 Peter Opsvik Is passionate about active sitting, and so are we.

Humans weren't designed to sit still for 8, 10, 12 hours a day and there is no one who designs furniture that allows us to move quite like this man.

He specialises in furniture that feels natural and uplifting to use...

Dream design

"One of the most common constraints on product development is that people think too conventionally.
When we dream, these kinds of checks are switched off, and thoughts, ideas and experiences mingle freely without being overridden by restrictions or conventions.
Often when I wake up early in the morning, I find that I can tap this creative capacity that is released during dreaming. I lie in bed; half awake, and think through the difficulties that need to be resolved in the course of the day. Often, I go back to sleep and let my dreams work on this reality.
The result can be a burst of creativity that often results in imaginative and unexpected connections between stored experiences. Indeed, very often the idea for new solutions is born from this seemingly unstructured dream impulse."

One of Our All Time Favourites : Extraordinary Comfort and Style

This is the best chair we've ever sat in, and the one many BIA staff use around our tables and in front of our computers.

The Actulum is an elegant Home Office or Dining Table Chair that can reduce sitting fatigue, improve posture, increase activity levels and reduce neck and back pain.
It is also well suited to study and hobbies, including foot operated pursuits. The rocking movement is exceptional at maintaining alertness and develops core muscles while you sit.

Zero Gravity

This is the ultimate relaxation chair. It is extremely comfortable and gives the best possible support when reclining. The Gravity recliner meets almost every seating requirement without strain.

Popular For Sit-Stand Working

One of the most unusual office chairs out there - this is an all time favorite for many of our team.
In our own offices and showrooms this is the most commonly chosen chair.

It pairs beautifully with sit to stand desking (something all our staff have and we strongly recommend) and can help increase energy, boost productivity and reduce back pain.

This is a best seller for us so we hold some models and colours in stock to ensure we can get chairs our super speed.
We recommend a really hard wearing fabric on this like Comfort+ or Leather as this is a chair you will have for many years. Its looks wonderful in bold colours but we suggest avoiding the really pale ones.

Best-Selling Kneeling Chair

This offers almost perfect design and function. The Variable's outstanding qualities are only exceeded by those of the Actulum or Thatsit, but the Variable wins on price so it's our best-selling kneeling chair. It fits anyone from 7 years upwards. All chairs come with a 7-year warranty.

Stokke® Tripp Trapp®

Our favorite chair of all time - The children's chair that grows with the child.

Why do we love it so much? Well because its beautiful and gives perfect support at every stage of your childs development.

Tripp Trapp

Kneeling Chair with Backrest

The absolute best keeling chair we have ever found for full 7hr+ days of working.

We believe the Thatsit is the ultimate kneeling chair because it allows the most movement and offers the greatest support. This movement and support is combined with adjustable backrest depth, height and it also has adjustable leg supports to sit almost any height of person (5ft to 6ft6in)
