About Zenta Collection Relaksaasjetafel

Zenta is in kolleksje fan Zen teetafels ûntworpen om de unike essinsje fan Japanske Drûge Tún-keunst te ferlichemjen. Dit ûntwerpproject jout foarrang oan in nije ûnderfining, dy't brûkers net allinne in teetafel biedt, mar ek in ynteraktive elemint: sân harkje om te meditearjen en ynlike frede te finen. De estetyk fan de kolleksje hellet ynspiraasje út de bylden fan rotsen en weagen, wêrtroch't in miniatuernatuerlik lânskip ûntstiet dat de unike teedrinke-ûnderfining fersterkjet.

The arrangement employs triangles or odd numbers, and the table legs are expressed through natural and uneven curves to bring about the most natural feeling possible.

Project Duration
The project started in April 2024 in Viet Nam and finished in July 2024.
Operation Flow
In moments when you need to release negative energy, you can rake the sand directly on the table. This is a dynamic meditation technique often employed in actual Zen gardens. The designated teapot area can also be used as a simple tea rinsing station, enhancing the sensation of waves. The combination of rocks and water creates a truly unique experience.
