Cornerstones

These are the principles that drive our product development
Empowerment

Our products are designed to increase independence and help both wheelchair users and caregivers!

AESTHETICS

Because looks directly impact confidence, we design our productst to be the sexiest and coolest on the market!

Innovation

We use the newest fabrics, incorporate the latest innovations and apply the newest technologies in all our products!

Health

Every wheelchair user develops at least one pressure sore in his or her lifetime, so we minimize the risk of skin damage!

Vision

Innovate to improve quality of life in a wheelchair
We want to raise the bar for the industry.

Wheelchair users are no longer helplessly bound to their homes but are rediscovering their neighborhoods and traveling the world. As wheelchair users conquer their place in society, the world adapts to facilitate their mobility. Sitwear was founded to encourage those brave hearts to live up to heir potential and empower them to reach beyond their limits.

We aim to improve the lives of people bound to a wheelchair, through innovation of existing products and development of new ones.

A group of extraordinary people
Steven Claeys
Steven Claeys
Founder
In 2014 I broke my neck in an accident and ended up paralyzed and permanently bound to a wheelchair. Not only did I lose control over my body, I also lost the ability to use “normal” products. So I was left with only two choices : live with discomfort for the rest of my life or Design my own products that I could use myself.
