Modular construction
Good products evolve. Components can therefore be maintained, replaced or upgraded as new technologies become available.
The chair evolves with new insights while retaining its high-quality foundations.
Designed for circular use
Sit-i Return
Built for years of use.
Every Sit-i chair starts with one principle: quality. It shapes the construction, the choice of materials and the way each chair is assembled.
Sit-i Return
Give your Sit-i its next home.
You can apply for Sit-i Return from twelve months after first delivery. The chair’s age continues to run from that first delivery, including when ownership changes.
Shipping and transport are at your own expense. You can drop the chair off at a Sit-i Professionals location without a drop-off fee. Contact us beforehand to agree the drop-off location.

Assessment
We review the model, technical condition and options within Sit-i Return.
Your proposal
You receive a personal proposal based on your chair and current demand.
Its next home
If the chair is offered again as Sit-i Certified, it first undergoes the technical inspection.
The foundations
Considered from the start.
Carefully chosen materials
Every material contributes to the quality of the finished product. Sit-i Athlete · Pro and Opus are upholstered in high-quality rPET made from recycled PET bottles.
For other models, we choose materials suited to their application, use and intended service life.
Designed for intensive use
Materials, construction and finish come together in a chair that feels comfortable, withstands intensive use and retains its quality for years.
Sit-i Value Indicator
Value after years of use.
The Sit-i Value Indicator gives you an initial estimate. The technical assessment and current demand determine your individual proposal.
| Chair age | Sit-i Value Indicator* |
|---|---|
| 1 year | Up to 65% |
| 2 years | Up to 55% |
| 3 years | Up to 45% |
| 4 years | Up to 35% |
| 5 years | Up to 30% |
| 6 years and older | On request |
The indicative maximum percentages are calculated on the original purchase amount for the Sit-i chair shown on the purchase invoice, including VAT and excluding shipping costs. The chair’s age is counted from its first delivery date.
The percentages are not a guaranteed buyback payment. Kinamics determines a personal proposal after technical assessment.
*An indication for complete, original and well-maintained Sit-i chairs. The final value depends on technical condition, version and current demand within the Sit-i Return programme.
Sit-i Certified
Inspected. Certified. Clear.
Where necessary, components are replaced, software is updated and sensors are checked. Certification provides a clear picture of the technical condition.
Kinamics carries out the technical inspection for Sit-i Certified. Upholstery and Penthapod® condition are classified using the criteria below. The chair also undergoes technical inspection before being made available again.
| Class | Condition and criteria |
|---|---|
| ★★★★★ | Like new No damage to the upholstery and no scratches on the Penthapod®. |
| ★★★★☆ | Very good No signs of use on the upholstery; superficial scratches on the Penthapod®. |
| ★★★☆☆ | Good Signs of use on the upholstery and scratches on the Penthapod®. |
| ★★☆☆☆ | Heavily used Damage to the upholstery and scratches on the Penthapod®. |
| ★☆☆☆☆ | Lowest Return class Individual technical assessment and a take-back proposal, including when renewed use as Sit-i Certified is not possible. |
Take-back and offering a chair again as Sit-i Certified are assessed separately.
Every user knows exactly what to expect.
