SIT - the future of sitting - Prototypes for Humanity

About

“We are born to move, movement is what our body needs while we work.”

SIT is a stool and desk set designed to promote healthier habits by providing an active working environment that refreshes how we usually sit. The wooden stool sits higher than a standard office chair to ensure that the user’s hips, heels and shoulders are kept in vertical alignment and enable weight to be spread across both the feet and back. A small backrest keeps the frame in an ergonomic position, while a flexible support stops sitters from staying still for too long.
