A seat designed to make you healthier! - Yanko Design

Wanting to design a seat that guides you into sitting cross-legged, Gao Fenglin's Meditation Seat can only be sat on in a certain manner, directing the user's behavior and encouraging a seating position that keeps your back upright, and your legs folded in. The cross-legged position finds itself dating thousands of years back in Oriental and Indian cultures. Used frequently for meditation likewise every bit for eating, the posture is said to increase claret circulation and joint flexibility, while strengthening basic, and keeping your back upright. It also aids digestion.

The seat'due south pattern is quite different from the kind you lot usually meet. Looking like a saddle, with a strange concavity in the middle, you sit on the upper level of the seat with your legs folded inwards, and your feet occupying the lower expanse. Unusual for sure, the seat may not be particularly indicative (you might need someone to evidence yous how to sit on it the first time), but it sure encourages a good and healthy exercise of sitting in a way that'south good for you both physically, and if y'all're into meditation, mentally as well!

The Meditation Seat is a winner of the A' Design Honour for the year 2018.
