Our story
Sitt Up was born from a simple realization: the way we sit impacts our health and overall well-being.
In today’s increasingly sedentary society, many of us spend the majority of our days sitting. At first, we did not fully realize the consequences. But already by our twenties, after spending entire days working in front of a screen, we began to feel the effects - stiffness, tension, and fatigue creeping in.
We, Antoine and Lucas, cousins and best friends, asked ourselves: Can we transform the way we sit to support a healthier body and mind?
The disease of the century
Around 80% of adults in Europe will experience back pain at some point in their lives. It is the leading cause of absenteeism at work and the number one reason for medical consultations. Yet, nearly 80% of back pain cases are subclinical, meaning many people do not get a proper diagnosis and, in the end, are left on their own to find solutions.
We then understood we had to tackle the root cause of the problem: prolonged poor posture and lack of movement.
The turning point
Traditional solutions like ergonomic chairs, adjustable desks, and compression shirts are rigid, expensive, and fail to address the root cause of the problem. These methods take a passive approach, focusing solely on comfort, rather than encouraging movement. We realized we needed a solution that would actively promote movement while sitting, engaging the core muscles to build long-term back strength.
The sitting ball was the solution we were looking for to truly relieve back pain. Its dynamic design naturally engages your core, improves posture, and enhances circulation. And the benefits do not stop there - active sitting has been shown to boost focus, increase productivity, and reduce stress.
The birth of Sitt Up
After months of testing and prototyping, we created an ergonomic sitting ball that integrates movement into daily life. Sitt Up helps you stay engaged, energized, and focused throughout the day - effortlessly.
We did not just want a functional solution; we wanted something that fits modern interiors. With its sleek fabric cover and stabilized base, Sitt Up is both stylish and practical.
Our mission
We created Sitt Up to improve the well-being of people with sedentary lifestyles. We believe furniture should adapt to your body, not the other way around. This is why we have designed a solution that encourages movement instead of restricting it.
Sitt Up is the first step toward a better life. Are you ready to take yours?
