Peter Opsvik is a Norwegian industrial designer born in 1939, trained at the Bergen College of Applied Art and the Norwegian State College of Applied Art in Oslo. Opsvik has worked as a freelance industrial designer since 1970, and currently has his own design studio in Oslo, where he works with seven colleagues focusing on product design as a mean for solving real-life problems. Throughout his career, Opsvik has attempted to overcome our stereotypical sitting habits with his unconventional seating solutions. With a playful and human starting point, his work is a display of how norms of sitting nicely and sitting still can be broken.

At the very beginning of 1976 Hans Christian Mengshoel (1946) initiated a study that set out to answer how we could sit in more balanced and ergonomic ways. Through observation and research, Mengshoel found that a seat which was tilted slightly forward, encouraged a natural posture which provided greater mobility and relieved unwanted pressure while seated. The idea of shin support was introduced to keep the user from sliding off the seat while simultaneously maintaining an open hip angle. With this, Mengshoel initiated the concept of the kneeling posture in Norway and set the mark for a truly experimental time in Norwegian design history.
Mengshoel invited designers Oddvin
Rykken, Peter Opsvik and Svein Gusrud to design products based on the
novel balans concept. The collaboration resulted in several experimental
designs, where stereotypical views of sitting and seating where
abandoned. A collection of balans prototypes were displayed at the 1979
Scandinavian Furniture Fair in Copenhagen, where they received
significant attention. In 1984 the three designers and Mengshoel were
awarded the Jacob Prize, the highest recognition granted to designers,
architects and artists in Norway, for their original contributions.
