Pendulum Chair for Stokke
Price
Pendulum chair designed by Peter Opsvik for Stokke in 1983. The Pendulum's ergonomic design offers a comfortable seating experience, allowing for various postures by moving with the body's natural need for change. Its curved rail enables gentle forward and backward tilting, while the slim backrest encourages an open chest posture, allowing for diverse sitting styles, including sideways seating for extra support. In other words, dynamic sitting. A unique idea for a unique space. The chair is in excellent condition, apart from minor signs of age and use on the wooden parts.
