Dynamic. Understated. Timelessly up to date. The Stitz leaning aid is an exceptional piece of furniture, that involves neither sitting nor standing, but somewhere in between. What is so ingenious about Stitz, is that it allows the body to relax but puts it through its paces at the same time. Which is why you do not sit on Stitz, but rest on it at a slant. As a result, your pelvis adopts an upright position, your metabolism improves, your sense of balance is enhanced and your muscles are activated without subjecting them to too much strain.
You can sit on the round seat from all sides. The elastomer base is filled with quartz sand, so that Stitz does not topple over even when tilted. A freely accessible disc underneath the seat lets you infinitely adjust the support height with an integrated gas lift.
But Stitz is not just considered a symbol of superb design. A study carried out by the Centre for Health at the German Sport University Cologne verifies that regular use of Stitz boosts your body’s co-ordinating skills.

Hans “Nick” Roericht, born in 1932, studied at the Academy of Design in Ulm (HfG) where he later became a lecturer. He also lectured at the University of Columbus, Ohio. In 1976 he founded his own studio, ProduktEntwicklung Roericht, directly adjacent to the HfG. From 1973 until he became an Emeritus Professor in 2001, he taught industrial design at the Hochschule für Künste in Berlin (University of Fine Arts). Today, he manages the “Hans Roericht Foundation” that is dedicated to promoting talented designers. Roericht designed numerous ranges for Wilkhahn, including the 190 chair range, the 840 lounge range, the Kendo range and the Picto office chair range. With the “Stitz” leaning aid, he developed a distinctive design classic that has been regarded as an icon of Wilkhahn design principles until today.
