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.
