Wilkhahn Stand-Up standing aid black

An ode to the Wilkhahn Stand-Up

Sitting still is a thing of the past

As if someone wrapped a fitness ball in a sleek jacket and gave it a will of its own. The Wilkhahn Stand-Up looks like a toy, behaves like a dancer, and feels like a clever helper in your workday. Give it a nudge and it will bounce back on its own. This is no ordinary standing aid; this is your movement companion with character.

Why the Wilkhahn Stand-Up?

Move without thinking

The Stand-Up is based on the idea of a one-legged milking stool: you sit slightly tilted, causing your body to automatically make small corrections. These micro-movements keep you active, even while sitting. Perfect for informal workspaces, hot-desking areas, or even your home office. And with the handy handle, you can easily take it to the next room or the balcony.

Always in balance

Don't be fooled by its tilted position: the Stand-Up tilts up to 50 degrees but always returns upright. This is thanks to the clever counterweight in the base and its resilient yet stable construction. And that makes it as reliable as it is surprising.

Explanation of use

Sitting without sitting

You use the Stand-Up as active sitting support. Instead of passively slouching, you remain gently in motion. Perfect for a quick sit during standing work or a short meeting. And the beauty is: it naturally encourages you to change posture regularly.

Ergonomic benefits

Thanks to the tilting design, you continuously make small posture adjustments. This stimulates blood circulation, keeps your back and core active, and prevents the familiar slumps. No complex settings, just sit down and your body does the rest.

Also not to be missed

A quick measure

With a height of 67 cm, the Stand-Up is suitable for use at high tables or in combination with sit-stand workstations. Please note: it is not height-adjustable.
