HAND-CRAFTED MEDITATION SEAT

Made by hand in Portland, Oregon, the undulating contours of this artful and comfortable meditation seat are created by laminating a series of bendable poplar wood over a curved form, then veneering it with a thin layer of maple. A steel O-ring nestled into the curve provides both spring and support beneath your body’s weight. The O-ring also doubles as a handy storage spot for your blanket. The wood is treated with an eco-friendly oil/wax blend, and the ring, shown here in white, is available a variety of other colours.
