- Meditation Chair -
Thought of a "meditation chair" that fits to living in the seat.
Cross your legs close to the crossed legs and sit with the minimum backrest that touches between the latissimus dorsi muscles.
Taking a deep breath, slowly closing your eyes, and meditation can calm your mind and bring changes in your brain.
By increasing the gray matter of the hippocampus, cognitive function increases and the amygdala becomes smaller, reducing stress.
Not fitting for relaxation, but worthy to provide you with the time to sharpen your mind.

ZENCHAIR is not about the material, but about the human body itself.
An image that comes to my mind is that of a person hunched over a monitor, or a person who, while walking, curls up their back and looks at their smartphone.
With this chair one can come back to oneself by sitting in this chair, straightening their back, adjusting their mind and spirit. I could imagine such a scene. I want to own one of these chairs myself.
