Sitpack

Their story begins during the summer of 2010, a group of friends attended the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. After 5 days of music under the open sky, anxiously waiting for the mystical and brilliant Prince to perform, their bodies; knees, backs and feet just wanted a place to relax. Sitting on the ground wasn’t a solution. The group of friends were standing in the middle of a packed field amongst other spectators, their bodies aching from so much standing. Suddenly an idea started to creep in, one that was both elegant yet daunting; finding a comfortable alternative to standing that is also compact and easy to carry. Being used to carrying a 50 cl beverage around, almost constantly - making a foldable seat with the same proportions made good sense. Making a comfortable alternative to standing, a sleek design that can be transformed into a seat in seconds, would also help eliminate the wasteful consumption of low quality camping chairs, often being left behind at outdoor events. The result: a sleek, cylindrical device; comprised of glass fibre and reinforced polycarbonate, with the exact measurements of a 50 cl can, that can hold up to 100 kg/220 lbs. and is height adjustable. Yes, the quirky, yet useful festival idea had come to life. A device that can be pulled out and used as a seat to provide anyone with the rest they needed as well as a tool for helping people who have chronic ligament problems or suffered sports injuries making standing seriously uncomfortable.
