Moved by movement
Peter Opsvik – Moved by Movement is a new exhibition at the Rørosmuseet, celebrating the life and works of a designer who spent his career questioning one simple assumption: that sitting should be still.
Peter Opsvik (1939–2024) built his work around the belief that the human body is not designed for static positions. But he was not only an industrial designer. The exhibition presents him as a complete creative figure – artist, musician and designer – tracing parallel timelines of his visual art, his work as a jazz musician, and his contributions to furniture design.

Balanced movement is effortless movement
When sitting, can freedom of movement and change of position be as important as support? Even the most comfortable sitting position becomes uncomfortable after a while. Our muscles are built for productive use and aren’t well-adapted to static strain. We can walk for hours but get tired after a few minutes if we have to stand still.
HÅG in Balance® allows for balanced movement. When you’re in balance, moving becomes effortless. Your legs determine how you shift position and moving becomes an inherent part of your natural
workflow.
HÅG was at a crossroads and the furniture industry was defined by uniformity. Office chairs were built to stabilise the body, not to support movement.
A different idea emerged: that sitting should adapt to the body, not the other way round.
Ideas that once felt unconventional are now widely accepted across the furniture industry. Designing for movement, variation and active sitting has become central to how workplace wellbeing is understood today.
