About Zazen Daudzfunkcionāls Krēsls

Zazen ir daudzfunkcionāls krēsls, kas paredzēts darbam un atpūtai sabiedriskās vietās, piemēram, birojos un bibliotēkās. Zazen var apgriezt otrādi, lai mainītu tā funkciju. Ar mazāko atvērumu uz augšu Zazen kalpo kā parasts krēsls mācībām un darbam. Ar lielāko atvērumu uz augšu Zazen pārvēršas par plašu dīvānu, kas piedāvā ērtu vietu lasīšanai un meditācijai. Lietotāji var sēdēt uz dīvāna virsmas ar sakrustotām kājām. Zazen ir izgatavots no tīkkoka – izturīgas un nodilumizturīgas koksnes – un tā izmēri ir 96 cm garumā, 68 cm platumā un 65 cm augstumā.

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.
