The new Sitpack ZEN is the world’s most compact, and functional one-legged chair. It's designed to improve your posture, and lets you relax when you need it, whether you’re indoors or outdoors. Made with either carbon or alu tubes, and a ballistic nylon seat, it's the toughest, most advanced and lightest portable seat on the market.

Hi everyone
This update contains:
1. Production
2. Survey
3. The first copycat spotted
--------------------------------
PRODUCTION
As mentioned in the previous update, we are at the early stages of reviewing all moulds and tools to get them right the first time. We will be working a lot with aluminum and will be using different techniques to shape the parts as we want them to be. Our carbon tools are also in the making and will update on that Asap.
We are now testing the first samples of the extruded alu tubes, the screws that will hold the seat together, as well as reviewing the molds for the locking mechanism, which is the most complex process. Tolerances are of the essence.

SURVEY - BACKERKIT
We have just started to add all backer information into Backerkit. Last time we did experience some issues with our import - so this time we are taking our time making sure that everything is done correctly.
COPYCAT
We have had our fair share of headaches with Copycats these past years. And now someone has already posted the job to copy us on the freelance platform: up-work and as it looks, hired someone to copy Sitpack Zen. Last year we closed +2000 online shops selling fake Sitpacks, through the IP protection software REDPOINTS ... So luckily we know what to do, but what a nuisance.
Thank you all for the continued support!
Yours truly - Jonas and the Sitpack team
