1983, in homage to Peter Opsvik. Peter Opsvik is a Norwegian industrial designer best known for his innovative and ergonomic chairs and was one of three designers who developed chairs based on the kneeling posture.
Thus encouraging a more ergonomic posture and distributing the users weight across the body more evenly than a standard chair.
It was of primary importance for Opsvik that kneeling should be one of many different sitting postures.
