Conventional workplaces
will be challenged by compact
units that better suits our new,
more flexible and IT-driven
way of working.
Peter Opsvik
It’s all in
the design
You have never seen or experienced anything
like it.
The world’s first all-inclusive laptop workstation
is born, together with a family of ergonomic
and stunning office chairs. The Globe Concept
is created for the modern, flexible and active
workplace.
It’s all in the workplace
The shape and
flexibility of the
ball-shaped
back supports
the upper
body and the
arms at various angles.
The rounded seat
and back makes
sitting more dynamic and active.
The Globe Concept is based on two simple
principles
– active sitting and compact thinking.
The freedom to tweak around and the availability
of support determines whether we are seated
comfortably and able to work concentrated.
Peter Opsvik
With the functional office chair Globe ”Tree”, we
introduce the smallest all inclusive workplace in
the world, still satisfying the body’s need of both
movement and rest.
Compact unit –
minimal floor space
requirement.
Developed by the Norwegian designer
Peter Opsvik. Best known for promoting
”movement and variation of posture” as the
most important criterion for
the workplace.
Product examples:
The children’s chair TRIPP TRAPP, HAG
Capisco, Balans Variable.

Weight and measurements:
Floor space
Seating height
Table tops Table height Weight GLOBE ONE is a stool,
perfect in areas where
freedom of movement
of the upper body is
essential. In spite of its
lack of a back ball, GLOBE
ONE encourages active
sitting postures, which
is reminiscent of a rider
on a horseback. The
rounded seat tilts the
pelvis forward and gives
you a better posture for
your back.
This means less pressure
on the back, shoulders
and neck. The small
supporting ball creates
an extra level for the
foot and thus increases
mobility even further.
GLOBE ONE is the perfect
meeting chair, as it takes
up a minimal amount of
space.

GLOBE TWO is based on
the height of its sitting
position and foot support.
It provides the body with
freedom of movement
and energy. The increased seating height and
the ball footrest provide
maximum freedom for the
back and shoulders. The
Globe two serves as an
excellent conference chair
for conducting efficient
meetings around a slightly
higher conference table.
(The recommended table
height is approx. 90 cm.)
Globe Two also serves as
a waiting room chair; it is
easy to sit on, quickly get
up from and gives you a
good feeling when sitting
slightly higher up.
The design is so versitile
that it suits most people
and thereby eliminating
time-consuming chair
adjustments.
GLOBE ”TREE” is the “all
inclusive” option. With its
two back balls, rounded seat
and two flexible tabletops,
as well as the foot rest, it offers a complete and “superergonomic” workstation in
a compact format. There is
plenty of space for a laptop
or tablet PC, mobile phone
and coffee cup.
