DB:01.A (Modular Daybed)

The ‘Modular Daybed’ is a handmade, full-size laying and sitting surface comprised of six removable Meditation Cushions. These are the same cushions sold separately as a set, which feature incredibly plush 3" 100% natural Latex foam as the cushion material.  In addition to the cushions, there are six wood connector boards that function either as a way to modularly connect each cushion to its respective spot, or to use as a flat working surface while the cushion is off. (Connector board seen in picture with open magazine resting on top of it). The uniform spaces in between the connected cushions are the perfect size and plushness to rest your arms, legs, or head while lying down. 

This object is available in the following options:

"Bright Magenta & Laminate" - bright magenta colored fabric, coral colored laminate top 

"Sand & Wood" - sand colored fabric, raw wood top (Birch Ply) (As shown in pictures from Modular Low Daybed)

Series: Modular Meditation Series

Truncated Series Info:

The ‘Modular Meditation’ series is centered around mixed-used & removable modular cushions designed primarily for use as meditation cushions. In my own life, I like to have most of my furniture or home objects capable of being used in different ways. This is probably born from the learned skillset of minimal & organized living within bigger cities, I.e. - smaller spaces. This way, I can have unique and nichely-designed objects in my area without having them gluttonously take up space as being only one-function items. 

Also a main exploration of this series is object that can not only be used modularly and multi-functionally but also as a way to prioritize and shift into a more floor-based living style. I’ve always felt more comfortable lying on the ground as opposed to formal furniture, even since childhood. Traditionally known as a facet of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and other cultures, floor sitting has been researched as a way to promote sustained physical activity throughout life and even shown to elongate human life spans ~ “Improving posture and increase overall strength, flexibility, and mobility.” (www.bluezones.com/articles/why-the-okinawan…). I find that being closer to the floor means that I’m far more likely to stretch, practice other body movements, or enter into a quick meditation without being physically constrained to the inherently small surface area of a chair or other limiting seating object.
