THE SOCIAL® COLLECTION
FROM HIGHTOWER® / VARIER®
We are proud to partner with Varier®, a Norwegian furniture company known for pioneering ergonomic design and human-centered movement. Rooted in Scandinavian craft and innovation, Varier® shares Hightower’s dedication to sustainability, durability, and creating environments that enhance the way people gather, work, and connect. This shared vision inspired our collaboration to bring the Social® Collection to North America.
Designed by Snøhetta, Social® embodies the best of both brands — playful adaptability, ergonomic integrity, and a purposeful response to the evolving needs of modern life.

“I’m a natural fidgeter, and Social® keeps me engaged. Its subtle movement helps me focus and stay comfortable through long meetings.”
Choose Your Rhythm: Tilt or Turn
This collection offers two distinct models designed for dynamic spaces. Social® Tilt features a responsive tilting base that encourages gentle rocking, supporting focus, comfort, and natural movement. Social® Turn brings a smooth swiveling motion, ideal for collaborative settings where conversation flows in every direction. Available in multiple color options, both models blend performance with playful design.
Social® balances form and function through subtle touches: a narrow back for freedom of movement, waterfall edges to support circulation, and a soft, tactile shell that prevents sliding. Its integrated motion and gentle curves offer intuitive, everyday comfort.
