Factoring motion into sedentary lifestyles keeps body and mind agile.

But that’s nothing new because the first people to spend long periods of time sitting were horse riders who stayed fit and healthy in the saddle too. But being out on the trail also means leaving well-trodden paths and broadening horizons.

And this is where the stylish, contemporary design of Sven von Boetticher’s Rider comes in. With its sophisticated details, it resembles a saddle, the archetypal dynamic seat.

This is what makes the Rider so exceptional in the range of dynamic sitting-standing stools, which Wilkhahn established in the shape of its Stitz for offices three decades ago.

Rider’s ideal whenever energized, inspired and creative approaches are required. It’s light and easy to pick up with just one hand and a perfect choice for workshops, a quick chat with co-workers, activity-based breaks, at standing desks in homes, music stands, ironing boards or cooktops.

The “saddle” is surprisingly comfortable and users can sit astride or ride it side saddle. The handles on both sides allow intuitive precision adjustment of its height to match body sizes and the places it’s destined for. For instance, perhaps it’s to serve as a stool at a table or to perch on at an easel.

In other words, thanks to its self-explanatory, distinctive shape, Rider’s an appealing, easy-going companion to keep body and mind switched on. Whether in a plain black or bold black and white mix, its owners will be riding high.

FUNCTIONS

The one-leg Rider stool turns into a stable three-leg version when someone sits on it. Thanks to its height, which can be precisionadjusted from 52 to 78 cm (20½" to 30¾"), it’s ideal as a dynamic stool and sit-stand option. Its swivel capability and curved disc base encourage a range of different movements to keep body and mind agile. With recessed grips at the side underneath the saddle, it’s easy to grab hold of and carry to wherever it’s required.
