About Dhyan O Concepto De Chaise Lounge

O concepto de salón Dyhan combina o deseño moderno coas ideas orientais tradicionais e os principios de paz interior conectando coa natureza. Usando o Lingam como inspiración de forma e os xardíns de Bodhi e xaponesa como base nos módulos do concepto, Dhyan (sánscrito: meditar) transforma as filosofías orientais en configuracións variadas, permitindo ao usuario escoller o seu camiño cara ao relax / relax. O modo auga-estanque rodea ao usuario cunha cascada e un estanque, mentres que o modo xardín rodea ao usuario con verdor. O modo estándar contén áreas de almacenamento baixo unha plataforma que actúa como andel.

Unique Properties: In order to alleviate stress and achieve relaxation and "zen", Dhyan's modularity provides users with 3 environments to choose from: Standard mode (with storage), Garden mode (with side planters) and Water-Pond mode (with waterfall fountain). The design amalgamates eastern philosophies by encouraging solace with the elements of nature. Garden mode surrounds you with plants/trees while Water-Pond mode surrounds you with water and the sound of falling water, which is relaxing and considered good feng shui.
Dimensions & Packaging: general dimensions of the concept: L 2010mm, W 1010mm, H 875mm (standard mode), H 1062mm (including LED lamp)
Tags: zen, relaxation, pond, waterfall, garden, meditation, contemplation
Design Challenge: finding a way to maintain the original concept of a shiva-linga form while trying to make the design appear light and elegant was quite challenging. Initial designs had very bulky bases, until I was inspired by looking at premium European furniture, and decided to go in a minimalist and "light" direction.
Inspiration: For most working people, the daily stress of work is a hassle. Sometimes all you want at the end of the day is to relax in a contemplative/meditative environment. Inspired by the form of the Shiva Linga, the Bodhi Tree and Japanese gardens, the idea was to create a space where one's state of mind is at peace. It is quite apparent upon observation that proximity to nature brings about a more relaxing mindset, and I aimed to bring that into the home in a more intimate way, especially for urban dwellers who lack much contact with nature.
Project Duration: The project is conceptual and took 3 months from idea to what you see now. It started as a sketch as a "shiva-linga"-inspired chair design, and later I discovered there was more potential in its form and spent the next few months refining the idea of the chair as a form of escape from stress.
Operation Flow: The chair can be standalone or connected by a power source to power the USB charger on the tablet and LED lamp, as well as the water pump (pond mode). The lamp and tablet are optional extras, and can be retrofitted. standard mode has extra storage compartments behind and beside the seat.
