Zazen را می‌توان برگرداند تا کارکردش تغییر کند. با قرار گرفتن سمت روبازِ کوچک در بالا، Zazen به‌عنوان یک صندلی معمولی برای مطالعه و کار عمل می‌کند. با قرار گرفتن سمت روبازِ بزرگ در بالا، Zazen به یک مبل پهن تبدیل می‌شود که فضایی راحت برای مطالعه و مدیتیشن فراهم می‌کند. کاربران می‌توانند به‌صورت چهارزانو روی سطح مبل بنشینند. Zazen از چوب ساج ساخته شده است، چوبی پایدار و مقاوم در برابر سایش، و ابعاد آن ۹۶ سانتی‌متر طول، ۶۸ سانتی‌متر عرض و ۶۵ سانتی‌متر ارتفاع است.

Inspiration
Daily working time and library sofa inspired us to come up with this project. Employees often need to relax during your daily work in order to refresh brain. And sofa is furniture that can make people feel more comfortable. We want to design a chair that combines advantages. It is usually a chair that can be flipped over to form a wide sofa. Users can meditate while sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2021 in Milan and finished in February 2022 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2022.
Operation Flow
Turn the small-opening side up to make it an ordinary chair for study and work. On the other hand, it turns to a sofa with a large-opening side up so that creates a comfortable space for reading and meditation. When users feel stressed with current study or work, come and meditate for a while, to gain a refreshed mind.
