HIDA Suwari Kneeling Chair Meditation Stool Prayer Stool - Japanese Oak

About the Item

The HIDA Sangyo Suwari Kneeling Legless Stool Chair was designed by acclaimed Japanese designer Kenya Hara, known for his minimalist aesthetic and focus on the essential elements of design. The HIDA Sangyo Suwari Kneeling Legless Stool Chair provides a comfortable seating solution for meditation, prayer, and other activities where a kneeling position is desired. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this unique stool features a sculptural design that is beautiful in its own right, making it a stunning piece of functional art even when not in use. Designed for comfort and stability, the Suwari stool allows you to kneel in a supported, ergonomic position. The contoured seat and angled design help align your spine and distribute your weight evenly, reducing strain on your knees and back. The legless design brings you closer to the ground, fostering a grounded, introspective experience ideal for meditation, mindfulness practices, and prayer. Beyond its practical benefits, the Suwari stool is a true work of art. The clean, minimalist aesthetic and organic, flowing lines of the design lend an elegant, zen-like quality that complements a wide range of decors. Whether placed in a meditation space, living room, or anywhere else, this sculptural stool serves as a beautiful accent piece when not in use. Crafted from high-quality materials and built to last, the HIDA Sangyo Suwari Kneeling Legless Stool Chair combines superior comfort, stunning design, and exceptional durability. It's the perfect companion for your mindfulness journey and a welcome addition to any space. About the designer Hara's design philosophy emphasizes the importance of "emptiness" and finding beauty in simplicity. This ethos is beautifully embodied in the Suwari stool, which strips away unnecessary ornamentation to showcase the inherent elegance of the form. As the art director for the Japanese design house Muji for many years, Hara has become renowned for his ability to imbue everyday objects with a sense of serenity and contemplation. The Suwari stool continues this tradition, serving as a meditation on the beauty of function and the calming power of thoughtful design. Hara's deep appreciation for traditional Japanese culture and aesthetics can be seen in the Suwari's organic, flowing lines and minimalist silhouette. Yet the design also has a distinctly modern sensibility, blending timeless simplicity with a sculptural, almost art-like quality. Like all of Hara's work, the Suwari kneeling stool is a masterful study in reduction - paring down the essential elements to their purest form. The result is a stunning piece of functional art that enriches any space with its serene, zen-inspired presence. Whether you're using it for meditation, prayer, or simply as a captivating accent piece, the HIDA Sangyo Suwari Kneeling Legless Stool Chair embodies the design brilliance of Kenya Hara. It's a true testament to his ability to create objects that are both beautiful and deeply meaningful. 4
