If you’re traveling this holiday season, you’ll be doing a lot of standing around. Whether it’s standing in an airport security line or waiting at a crowded gate, it would be nice to take a
load off. Better yet, pulling a “seat” out of your back pocket sounds pretty convenient. The Danish company Mono+Mono recently introduced the Sitpack, a seat shaped like a monopod that fits in your pocket when folded up (折叠). Folded up, the Sitpack is 6.6 inches tall and 2.6 inches in diameter (直径). The Sitpack is height-adjustable and can extend to about 34 inches. The seat itself, when extended (延长), is 13 inches in diameter and supports up to 286 pounds.
Creator Jonas Lind-Bendixen says the idea for the Sitpack came four years ago, when he was waiting impatiently for a band to take the stage at a concert. He realized that people are often left standing for long periods of time, leading to an aching back and legs. “I’ve been doing sports most of my life, and through the sports I’ve gathered various small injuries in my knees, back and so on,” Lind-Bendixen says. “All this waiting that you expect when you go to watch sports, go shopping with your girlfriend or travel can be quite uncomfortable,” he says.
The final product will be made entirely out of the same type of plastic. When sitting on the device, the user must keep the feet on the ground. Some balancing is involved, but Lind-Bendixen explains that it doesn’t take much effort to find correct posture.
Based on experience on Kickstarter, people see a variety of uses of the Sitpack. “We have people from Japan, from China, from Australia, people who hunt, people who are watching their kids play soccer every Sunday,” Lind-Bendixen says. “People with chronic illness see the product as a huge value for them.” Lind-Bendixen says the developers plan to have the product ready for sale by April. Sitpack will sell at an estimated$50 to$55.
