Unique Properties: Zenta is a collection of Zen tea tables designed to embody the unique essence of Japanese Dry Garden art. This design project prioritizes a novel experience, offering users not just a tea table but also an interactive element: raking sand to meditate and find inner peace. The collection's aesthetic draws inspiration from the imagery of rocks and waves, creating a miniature natural landscape that enhances the unique tea-drinking experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: W 2000 mm x D 600 mm x H 400 mm
Tags: Zen, Tea Table, Relaxation Furniture, New Experience, Meditation, Raking Sand, Tea Set
Production Technology: Leveraging CNC technology, metal bending.
Research: The project focuses on researching the principles and imagery that a Japanese dry garden utilizes to bring about new psychological states in the experiencer. As such, this design has harnessed two fundamental images of nature: waves and rocks. 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.
Inspiration: Inspired from the perspectives and philosophies of Japanese Zen gardens. Exploiting the images of mountains and waves to create a miniature natural landscape. This will provide a tea-drinking experience that blends seamlessly with a sense of meditation.
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.
