Entry Description

Meta.Zen is targeted at adults, who are living alone under the extra pressure of the fast-paced urban routine during the pandemic, and longing for self-mediation and a cure for mid-week blues.

Forms follow the principles in Zen: Kanso: simplicity; Yugen: subtly profound grace, and Seijaku: tranquility.

The patented modular design is quaint with rich texture and organically colored from fully biodegradable material. Functionally, it embeds magnets to ease precise alignment efforts in building, which is inclusive and friendly to visually impaired people, elders, and users with hand tremors.
