The Chairs
Our revolutionary chairs are designed to perfectly connect to your pelvic balance.
When our body is balanced, our joints, ligaments, muscles and organs function optimally, and suffer the least.
Standing, walking, playing sports and sitting can only be a playful, relaxed and efficient activities if your body can find its innate balance.
Optimal balance is always initiated and maintained from our core, making our pelvis and the muscles around it paramount in achieving any healthy position or activity.
When sitting, your body functions optimally when it can easily find its balance in and above your core.
Why use our pelvic balance chairs?
Your spine rebuilds itself.
The mobility of your lower back gradually increases.
Short muscles from the thighs to the pelvis and lower back start to relax again.
Relaxation occurs in the neck and shoulders.
Mobility in the shoulders and neck increases.
Breathing deepens.

What makes our chairs unique
Omnidirectional tilting seats
The seats of our chairs not only tilt forward and backwards, but also sidewards. The balancing point of the seat is positioned underneath the bodies centre of gravity. This liberates the pelvis to move in a familiar way: in all directions. This familiar balancing movement extends upwards via the spine, so the whole upper body can find its natural position and function.
Shorter & flatter = better
Seats of standard office chairs have seats that extend almost to the knee. This means you sit on both your buttocks and upper legs.
The seats of our chairs are shorter and flatter, which helps to stay in contact with that part of your body that should be used for sitting: your buttocks. This in turn makes it easier to balance you upper body on top of the resting point, so you sit instead of slouch.
Higher sitting position
The gas springs under our seats allow for a slightly higher sitting position than is usual for standard office chairs. Sitting higher increasing the angle between your torso and upper leg, which allows your hip joint to create space for the pelvis to relaxedly tilt upright.
Backrest get’s out of the way
When you’re sitting instead of slouching, the backrest has no function. Our chairs with a backrest support you when you need it. It is shorter because it only has a function in one of these two situations:
- 1. When you slouch you touch the backrest, reminding you to sit actively again.
- 2. When you consciously want to disengage from your active sitting position to lean back and rest, the back rest leans back with you, allowing for a comfortable position of rest.
Simplicity + functionality = sustainability
Our chair design prioritises functionality and simplicity. The purpose of the chair is what it brings the body of the user. Also, adding extra design elements wastes resources and makes it harder to reuse the individual elements that make up the chair. We assemble chairs according to an individuals’ needs and reuse the chair elements over and over again.
What happens when you sit on our chairs?
Using our chairs to sit based on pelvic balance will help you in the right direction. If you want to get the most out of the advantages, we strongly advice you to attend the Sit Workshop in which you unlearn ingrained sitting behaviour and learn to engage your pelvis.

New Wave
Löffler Cymo 14
A new way of sitting that feels familiar
The NewWave brings a new motion to the existing concept of a chair. In our range, it's the chair the feels most familiar to people that are used to standard office chairs, but it liberates the balance system of your body. If necessary, we can let the chair start very close to a ‘normal’ chair and let it gently grow along with the users developing sitting skills.
Grow towards pelvic balance
The Learning Lock of the NewWave makes it possible to lock the seats omnidirectional tilt. This allows users to get used to the other qualities of the chair first, before we unlock and introduce pelvic balance.
Half-inhibited wheels
The wheels are free enough to role away when needed, but are inhibited enough to allow the playful balancing act from your pelvis without you chair rolling away.
Adaptable seat, backrest and armrest
With our chair elements, we tailor the NewWave to the individuals’ needs and growth. A higher back rest, bigger seat and armrests, can be (dis)assembled.
Feet friendly star base
The front of the star bases feet is flat to allow for feet to be placed on them. Many people like to position their feet underneath their seat, which can make it easier for your pelvis to function and for your body to stay balanced.
Break Free
Löffler Cymo 12
Higher sitting to bring more pelvic freedom
Break free from old sitting behaviour by sitting higher. For a lot of people this higher sitting position makes it easier for them to relaxedly tilt their pelvis in an upright position.
Higher sitting position
The BreakFree is designed for allowing a high sitting position, for instance at a sit/stand desk. The chair can be used in a lower position, which invites more laid back lounging posture.
Half-inhibited wheels
The wheels are free enough to role away when needed, but are inhibited enough to allow the playful balancing act from your pelvis without you chair rolling away.
Extra Feetrest
An extra feetrest allows for more options to position your feet. Playing with your feet's positions helps to find the posture that makes pelvic balance easy for you.
Trust your bodies’ balancing system
The STiT is a replacement for the standard office chair. On top of the omnidirectional tilting of the seat that is the hallmark of all our chairs, it introduces in an extra point of movement on the ground, triggering you pelvis to actively restore balance. A principle very familiar to your body, since it happens constantly when you’re standing/walking.
Balancing disk on the ground
The round disk on the ground introduces a subtle wobble to your sitting that your pelvis intuitively resolves, thanks to the omnidirectional tilting seat.
Use like a chair
The STiT is not a standing aid, but an alternative to the standard chair. When your bodies’ innate carrying structure is positioned correctly thanks to pelvic balance, your body supports itself and you don’t need a backrest of armrests.
Adjustable hight
Like an office chair, the STiT’s hight can be adjusted to your needs. We advice to start with a sitting position that’s slightly higher than most office chairs, allowing knees to be lower than your hips, which for most people makes it easier to tilt their pelvis upright.
Liven it up
The STiT is available in a range of colours and does not resemble the appearence of a weighty office chair, opening up the possibility to break free from the standard office vibe and bring some lively design elements into your work surrounding.
STiT Amazone
Löffler Ergo Amazone
STiT higher
The STiT Amazone is ideal for sitting in a higher position behind a higher desk. Sitting in a higher position can make it easier to tilt you pelvis upright and keeping it in that position without building up tension in your core.
Balancing disk on the ground
The round disk on the ground introduces a subtle wobble to your sitting that your pelvis intuitively resolves, thanks to the omnidirectional tilting seat.
Higher sitting position
A longer gas spring allows for the STiT Amazone to be used in a much higer sitting position than the standard STiT.
Smaller seat
The Amazone seat is designed to cover only the necessary contact points with your buttocks, allowing your upper legs to angle downwards freely.
Our cooperation with Löffler
Our products are made in cooperation with the German company Löffler GmbH. Our chair designs are based on Löffler chairs. In cooperation with Löffler we have developed variations on some of the parts to make the chairs align better with our focus on pelvic balance.
