Product description

The ZENSO HIGH lounger adds a high-back chair to the ZENSO chair family. The basic formal motif of the Enso circle from Japanese calligraphy has been continued here. The shape of the back reflects this in an exaggerated, circular free form.

This expressive gesture makes the lounger appear sculptural and is at the same time an invitation to make yourself comfortable – put your feet up on ZENSO POUF.
The striking cross-wood frame supports and carries the cantilevered back shell. The adjustable head cushion can be individually adjusted to the respective size. The lounger is characterised by a very high level of seating comfort.

The upholstery construction made of sustainable and ecological materials is technically as well as conceptually and conceptually innovative. The seat and back are upholstered with natural latex and a fleece made of organic cotton. ZENSO HIGH combines the high demand for quality craftsmanship, purely sustainable materials with sculptural design.

Concept

With ZENSO, the designer duo at Formstelle have developed a family of chairs of sculptural character. The expressive wooden frame incorporates two floating circles, the seat and back of the chair.

Actually, the family of chairs should have been called Ensõ. The round circles follow the motif of the Ensõ, a symbol in Japanese calligraphy: Although the Ensõ is actually a symbol
and not a letter, it is one of the most common drawingin Japanese calligraphy. It symbolises enlightenment and elegance, the universe and the void, but also symbolises Japanese aesthetics in itself. As an “expression of the moment”.

In Zen Buddhist philosophy, painting the Ensõ represents the moment in which the consciousness is free, and body and soul are unfettered in their creative process. Usually, the ink is applied to either silk paper or rice paper in a single stroke. There is no possibility for modification: The Ensõ shows the state of mind at the moment of ist creation. Many Zen Buddhists believe that the artist’s character is fully reflected in how he draws the Ensõ. Accordingly, only a person who is mentally and spiritually complete is able to draw a true Ensõ. Some artists practise drawing the Ensõ every day as a spiritual exercise. From this inspiration the ZENSO family of chairs consisting of chairs, bar stools and loungers has emerged. The frame is made of solid wood, the seat and back shell consist of moulded wood and can be upholstered. The seat upholstery is always fully upholstered, the back shell
with an attached cushion. ZENSO LOUNGE always has an upholstered seat and back.
