Sitpack ZEN X Portable Stool (All Black) – Anodized Aluminium

Overview

Sitpack ZEN X is a compact, one-legged portable stool from Danish company Sitpack, built around an aircraft grade aluminium frame and an Oxford 600D Ripstop Nylon seat. The Y-shape suspends the hammock-shaped seat at an angle that adapts to each user, and a unique folding construction lets you set it up in roughly five seconds. An integrated storage pocket keeps everything together when packed away.

This upgraded version swaps the previous polycarbonate locking mechanism for durable POM, tested over 2,000 times, and adds an aluminium insert in the foot for extra stability. Lightweight and compact enough to slip into a backpack, it is made for people with an active lifestyle who would rather sit than stand around. This listing is the anodized aluminium version with black wings; Sitpack also makes a carbon fiber version.
