Varier Ekstrem™
designed by Terje Ekstrøm, 1984. We sell this icon, made to order. Not 2nd hand or used.
Not merely a chair but a stand-alone object, Ekstrem represents one of Norway’s first postmodern designs. Designed in a time characterized by significant change, a new generation of designers set out to challenge convention in search for originality. A bold combination of aesthetics and ergonomics, Ekstrem offers a sitting experience out of the ordinary.
The unexpected geometrics allow you to sit forward with feet on the ground, sideways with legs placed on the armrests, or completely backwards with the front of the torso against the chair’s back.
Ekstrem is available in six colorways in Knit, a bespoke woollen upholstery textile by Norwegian Devold. Knitted from one continuous thread, it provides an elasticity which is essential when fitted to the chair’s organic shape. The knitted fabric offers a soft and breathable surface and features a classic quadratic pattern.
And effective April 2022, the Ekstrem is available in (6) Gentle (by Febrik textiles) upholstery colours, a knitted stretch velvet with a sumptuous soft pile.
