Finding the balance between sitting and standing

Bilico, which in Italian means "balance" or "a delicately suspended equilibrium," perfectly captures the essence of this stool: it is neither fully seated nor fully standing, but rather finding the perfect balance between the two.

In today's office environment, we know more than ever that maintaining a single posture all day is an invisible burden on the body. Changing posture is essential for maintaining physical and mental well-being. After years of research, five postures have been identified to improve work efficiency, including the "rest" posture—a perfect combination of standing and sitting—which is becoming the posture of choice for a growing number of high-performing individuals.

The Bilico semi-elevated stool was created specifically to allow you to naturally achieve the "rest" posture in the office.

⚖️ Design Philosophy: The Art of Balance
What is the "rest" posture?

The "resting" posture is a dynamic balance between sitting and standing:

Upper Body: Maintains upright posture and standing strength, naturally activating core muscles.

Lower body: Reduces direct pressure on the legs and hips, significantly lightening the load on the body.

General condition: maintains the concentration of the standing position, while achieving some of the relaxation typical of the sitting position.

This posture is particularly suitable for short meetings, temporary work, and standing communications—situations that require quick starts and stops, keeping the body light and alert at all times.

Bilico is a tool designed for this posture.

The Science of Semi-Erect Posture
Research shows that while standing is beneficial, maintaining it for prolonged periods can lead to lower limb fatigue. While sitting is comfortable, it easily leads to core muscle relaxation.

The semi-upright posture creates a balance between the two:

Maintains upper body strength: the spine remains naturally straight, breathing is fluid, and mental concentration is high.

Reduced pressure on the lower body: legs and hips receive partial support, improving blood circulation.

Reduction of overall load: the load on the joints is reduced and muscle fatigue is delayed.

Quick transition: Standing and sitting is quick and comfortable, adapting to a dynamic work pace.

Bilico makes semi-upright posture a daily routine, not just an ideal.

🪑 Simple design that harmonizes with multifunctional spaces

Bilico's look follows the modern "less is more" aesthetic. It's understated yet resistant to scrutiny; simple yet subtly considered.

Pure form, clean lines: without superfluous embellishments, each line has its own reason to exist.

Discreet presence: it does not steal the visual attention of the space, but enhances its overall aesthetic.

Neutral language: blends naturally with any office environment, from modern minimalist to warm wood.

Spatial adaptability: Bilico's design goal is to be the ideal companion for multifunctional spaces:

Standing meeting area: Easily pull out a chair for a short standing discussion.

Temporary Work Area: Perfectly matches height-adjustable desks to suit different work needs.

Leisure and conversation area: Its lightweight design makes communication more relaxed and comfortable.

Training/Event Area: Quickly opens when needed, easily folds away when not in use.

Bilico is not the fulcrum of the space, but it is the fulcrum that requires it.

🎚️ Adaptable to your needs | Adaptable to the needs of every moment
The main function of Bilico is a comfortable and precise height adjustment system.

Wide range of adjustments

Adjustment size data

Seat height adjustment range: 565mm - 815mm

Suitable for: Employees of all body types

Perfect for: Height-adjustable desks

Regardless of your height or the height of your desk, Bilico finds the perfect balance for you.

One-second adjustment | Full access ring

Bilico features a full access ring under the seat. Just press it:

Quick adjustment: One-handed height adjustment, hassle-free

Effortless Response: Smooth and effortless adjustment

Instant position: from the lowest to the highest position, a simple press and release

When you need to change position, Bilico is faster than you think.

Under-Seat Lever | Traditional and Reliable

In addition to the quick-adjustment ring, Bilico also features a traditional control lever under the seat, offering the same precise and reliable height adjustment. Two options to accommodate different habits.

🧘 Dynamic support | Freedom of movement in all directions

Bilico's support pillars are specially designed to tilt in all directions with your body.

Natural dynamics
Full Swing: Move freely forward, backward, left and right.

Self-centering: Balance automatically returns to the central position.

Stable Support: Provides reliable support while swinging.

Stability in freedom

This design offers a wonderful experience: you feel complete freedom of movement, always feeling securely supported.

Comfortable Tilt Angle: Find the most suitable tilt angle for you at the moment.

Freedom of movement: Your body can move naturally and smoothly as you speak, think, or act.

Continuous Support: Support remains constant regardless of the tilt angle.

Bilico moves with his body but never loses his balance.

🦴 Concave Inner Shell | Pelvic Stability

The inner shell of the Bilico seat features a concave design, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to achieve "pelvic fixation".

How it works

When sitting, the concave surface naturally supports the sides of the pelvis:

Stable posture: the pelvis is gently fixed in its optimal position, preventing involuntary slipping forward and backward.

Natural spine: With a stable pelvis, the spine naturally maintains its physiological curvature.

Core activation: A subtle pelvic support keeps the core muscles under the right tension.

The science of posture

The brilliance of this design lies in its ability to provide stability without causing pressure. You feel securely supported without feeling restricted.

Bilico helps the pelvis find its correct position.

🌱 Eco-friendly Design | A Commitment to the Future

Bilico's design is not only about physical balance, but also about the balance between man and nature.

Finite Element Analysis | Precise Material Usage

The Bilico body design is based on finite element analysis (FEA), an advanced engineering simulation technology. By precisely calculating stress distribution, our developers are able to:

Minimize material usage: Use materials only where necessary, simplifying processes where not necessary

Optimize resource utilization: Achieve lightweight construction without sacrificing superior quality, strength, and safety

Demonstrate safety: ensure that every structural element can withstand the test of everyday use

Recyclable Materials | A 28% Starting Point
Bilico's steel and resin components are made from recyclable materials, which account for approximately 28% of the product's total weight. But that's just the beginning.

Recycling path of the material type

Polyamide resin: Post-use recycling → Reprocessing by the resin manufacturer → Reuse in production

Aluminum Alloy: Recycled Aluminum → Alloy Manufacturer Processing → Recycled Aluminum (97% more energy efficient than virgin aluminum)

Steel: Recycled steel → Steel mill producing new steel (75% more energy efficient than producing steel from iron ore)

Born for dismantling

Bilico's projects always prioritize ease of disassembly and recycling:

Material Grouping: Components made of different materials can be completely separated and grouped into the same material group.

Modular Structure: The modular and clear design allows for disassembly without specialized tools.

Future Cycle: Every material selection is based on the principle of "reusability".

Bilico believes that good design must be respectful of the planet.

⚖️ Bilico's promise

The term "Bilico" in Italian describes a delicate state: balance on both ends of a scale, a moment of uncertainty, a perfect fulcrum.

The Bilico stool believes that body balance should be equally subtle and precise. It doesn't force you to stand, nor does it induce prolonged sitting. It simply provides a fulcrum between the two when needed, allowing you to find your balance between upper-body strength and lower-body relaxation.

Between standing and sitting, between dynamism and stability, between present and future, Bilico keeps you balanced.
