Globe Garden Lounge Chair By Peter Opsvik For Varier / Stokke, Norway 1985

About the Item

Did you also enjoy sitting in a tree as a child? The Garden armchair by Peter Opsvik comes very close to this experience. You climb up the branches and can sit down in the crown. Designed in 1985 as part of the Globe Concept. The seat and all globes can be rotated. This armchair successfully breaks with traditional sitting habits and gives the body more freedom of movement. More a statement of art than a piece of seating furniture. And yet the Garden offers numerous comfortable sitting positions. Good used condition. Base with signs of wear. Seat and 2 balls were reupholstered by the previous owner. 2 replaced glides. Non-smoking object. Also known as “Worf’s Chair” as the armchair of the Klingon Lieutenant Worf in the television series “Star Trek, The Next Generation. There was also a “guest appearance” in the series “Friends”. Dimensions: H: 185cm, seat height 115cm, width: approx. 95cm, depth: approx. 128cm.
