Description

Purvottanasana’ chair with its radical minimalism emphasizes on geometric purity and appreciates the intrinsic beauty of its wooden material. Its elemental geometry brings simplicity in construction and solidity in appearance. Each frame on the side consists of three rectangular pieces of walnut wood connected by mortise and tenon joints. The seat connects the frames and the wooden block, which is placed on the frame as backrest and armrest, revealing its wooden and cracked nature. ‘Purvottanasana’ like its name defines a unique spatial relation for its user; the human body.
