Where Varier makes its chairs

  • Poland. Product pages for Variable, Move and Thatsit say "Designed in Norway, made in Poland". The Variable EPD instead gives Varier’s Oslo address as the place of production. Source.

Warranty and spare parts

Warranty: Registered chairs: 10 years on wooden and polypropylene parts. Registration is required; other parts are not covered.

Spare parts: The warranty page has a spare-parts and repair section (contents not verified).

A maker's warranty is a voluntary extra. In the EU the seller still owes you at least the two-year legal guarantee; how the two fit together.

Environmental documents and take-back

Marks and certificates named in Varier's documents: EPD (Variable, Move).

EPDs: EPDs in the downloads section of the Variable and Move pages.

Take-back and refurbishment: No take-back programme found.

What these labels prove, and what they don't: sustainable office chairs, by the numbers.
