A tribute to Peter Opsvik

I grew up in a trip trapp chair and maybe that’s the reason for my deep respect for Peter Opsvik. Not only is he one of those few Norwegian designers that actually have managed to make a name of himself, both here at home as well as abroad, but he is also a designer that thinks more about ergonomic and function in a product than the “fashion” and the “trendy” look of it. In the occasion of his new book “Rethinking sitting” released in this days I have made a little tribute to the great designer Peter Opsvik!
