A meditation chair with a foldable privacy shade and supportive cushions. A space for seclusion and serenity.

In today's world, where stress is ever-increasing, it is essential to find time for peace. Meditation, a proven practice, offers us a method for calming the mind. However, many find sitting for a long period, especially when cross-legged, uncomfortable, and some often need a sense of safety to help them focus.

The Lotus Booth meditation chair, suitable for both home and office use, aims to address these issues. It features a foldable wool shade that provides seclusion while reducing peripheral light and noise. It also includes a variety of cushions to ensure ergonomic comfort for various users, upholstered in a warm wool bouclé fabric that is tear and stain-resistant. The lumbar support can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally to meet individual needs, and the side table rotates out for easy access to accessories.

Sustainability is achieved through responsibly sourced hardwood and modular design, facilitating storage, disassembly and transportation. Thank you to Auckland Buddhist Centre for collaborating and Cover Mania for their support with all things fabric, ensuring The Lotus Booth is the ideal companion for your moments of respite.
