About Brahma Sedia da meditazione
Brahma è una sedia progettata per la meditazione e per sedersi a gambe incrociate. Lo schienale presenta una sporgenza in corrispondenza della zona lombare e una curvatura e un'inclinazione ben definite, così da non richiedere cuscini aggiuntivi. L'ampia seduta consente alle ginocchia di rimanere all'interno del piano di seduta quando le gambe sono incrociate. La struttura è realizzata in compensato curvato e incollato, gommapiuma e rivestimento tessile, mentre le gambe sono in faggio massello. Le gambe smontabili sono fissate al telaio con quattro bulloni, così la sedia resta leggera e trasportabile. Brahma inserisce la meditazione negli interni contemporanei come un elemento d'arredo a sé stante.

- Production Technology
- The chair was designed to be light weighted, easily assembled and portable. The frame consists of bent-glued plywood, foam rubber and upholstery. The legs are collapsible, assembled on 4 bolts. The material is masive beech. The legs are attached to the frame by 4 bolts.
- Design Challenge
- Creative challenge: A piece of furniture is needed specifically for meditation. In addition to its purely applied significance, such a subject has a social perspective to bring the phenomenon of meditation from the level of a suspicious hobby, overgrown with a pile of mossy prejudices, to the level of a prestigious universally recognized practice of modern educated people who are healthy in body, mind and soul.
- Research
- 15 years ago, the designer got interested in meditation as an ancient oriental self-discovery method. In purpose of practical research, for a number of years he's been visiting various meditation centers, including retreats with a Hindu spiritual guru.
As a result of the research, the designer came to the conclusion about universal benefits of meditation as a natural way of self-development. It inspired him to create a piece of furniture specifically for long and comfortable meditation.
Offering a meditation chair as an integral element of everyday interior, the designer aims to shift meditation from an exotic activity of marginal social groups to a daily practice for physical, psychological and spiritual self-development. - Inspiration
- In the world of stress one looks for ways to clean up environment, heal the body and calm mind. It leads to meditation, for which home furniture is barely fit due to the armrests, the slope of a backrest, the width of a seat, and the heap of blankets and pillows on the floor alarms guests.
My own practice led me to settings of an ideal chair:
wide seat under knees
comfy back bend - no extra pillows
fine shape above the floor level.
Thus was born a ultimate item of modern interior. - Project Duration
- The project had started in July 2017.
It was exhibited at SaloneSatellite WorldWide Moscow 2017. Then the chair became the winner of the National Award "Russian Cabriole" and the winner of competition in the field of industrial design "Art-League" in 2018.
After that the chair was exhibited at the Salone del Mobile.Milano.Moscow 2018 and 2019 at the stand of Elle Decoration, the Venice Design Biennale DESIGN.VE. in 2018, Salone del Mobile. Milano 2018 in the Lambrate Design District, Moscow Design Week 2018, MAISON&OBJET PARIS 2019 and other smaller exhibitions. - Operation Flow
- The specificity of this chair is its ergonomics, which allows one to sit motionless in meditation for a long time. The whole point is in the form of a back with a protrusion under the lower back. Years of practice convinced the designer in the convenience of a certain bend and tilt of the backrest, which allows one to sit using no additional pillows. Also he added to this bend a wide seat that allows crossed legged sitting with knees not stuck out beyond the seat-plate.
