Sustainability for us
Sustainability for us is not a destination but a continuous voyage—one that we traverse with earnest dedication and an open heart. Our commitment to this path is robust, brimming with the fervor to make a significant and positive difference. At Sits, every piece of fashionable furniture is a testament to our mission: to deliver unparalleled comfort and style with the smallest possible environmental impact. It's a testament to our belief that fine furniture should not only grace living spaces but also respect and preserve the world it inhabits. Join us as we redefine furniture production, crafting pieces that aren't just statement icons of your personal taste but also lovingly crafted tributes to the planet that we all call home.
our designers
STEVEN SCHILTE. Started his career as a student at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. From there he has built a succesful career as a product designer working for such renowned companies as Jan des Bouvrie, before going freelance. His furniture designs have won several awards, for instance at the »Salon du Meuble« in Paris, the red dot design awards, the interior innovation award, as well as been nominated for the German Design Prize.
NIELS GAMMELGAARD. A renowned designer who studied under Erik Herløw at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Niels graduated in 1970 and went on to cofound Pelikan Design with Lars Mathiesen, designing everything from small pencils to tricycles and hospital beds. Pelikan is best known for its design of comercial furniture, with many of the most prestigious Danish furniture manufacturers—including Fritz Hansen, Bent Krogh, Fredericia and Erik Jørgensen – among its clients.
DAN IHREBORN . A freelance designer since 1991 with specialities in contemporary furniture and office environments, Dan brings a refreshing perspective to sits: »For me, sofas and easy chairs should give a simple, light and resilient impression, even if they have powerful volume. They should, of course, also be really comfortable and easy to care for. But above all, their design must last longer than ordinary trends.«
IAN ARCHER. With a passion for sculpture and product design, Ian studied furniture in Birmingham, graduating from the School of Architecture and Design in 1989 . He then worked in contract furniture before establishing himself as a furniture designer and then a design director in the domestic upholstery industry. With interests that embrace both classic and modern design, Ian formed his own consultancy. Today his work can be seen in such stores as John Lewis, Heal’s, Laura Ashley, Harrods and Couch, as well as many other independent retailers across the UK, Europe and Asia.

His focus there was in the field of high-quality office furniture, especially on chairs for the German manufacture Wilkhahn.
ANNA NÄSSTRÖM. Anna is more or less born on the upholstery factory floor, as she is the daughter in the family that started SITS almost 30 years ago. With a strong passion for Scandinavian design and a soft spot for deep and soft sofas that really embraces you, her first sofa Lill is now released. With a background in fashionand graphic design as well as years of work with communication at SITS, it was about time to design her first sofa piece and be sure there is more to come.
