Zazen can company you until calming down and refresh yourself via providing an area for meditation. It also can be an ordinary chair with turning over for study and work.

They expect space to relax for a while. In addition, meditation as a new healthy lifestyle impresses people who pay attention to their mental health these years. We need an area in the public places (office and library) to let us get out of the stress for a while. Zazen can company you until calming down and refresh yourself.
It also can be an ordinary chair with turning over for study and work. One product with two functions is an advocate of a low-carbon lifestyle and sustainable development.
In total, Zazen expresses a method of taking care of your mental and psychological health while putting lots of effort to work and study.
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.
