How do you make room for movement while sitting?
This design question is the starting point for Sit-i: a chair that allows you to change position while sitting.
Room for movement
The narrow saddle leaves room for your legs. The Top Unit allows the seat to tilt and turn. The Penthapod® forms the flexible base that moves with you and supports the chair through five points of contact.
Developing through practice
Experiences from training, treatment and everyday work help us test and refine the design. The design question remains our starting point.
The developer
Saskia Heijkants is a physiotherapist, movement analyst and the developer of Sit-i. The design question grew out of her practice.
