Meta Zen ass e Meditatiounsspillset fir Erwuessener an erschafft zesumme Interieurdekkoratioun. Minimalismus an de Formen, mat wäit unerkaanter Zen-Ästhetik a parametreschem Design, vervollstännegen d'Modulen dat dynamescht Sandmuster, vun engem dräi-Stéck Dëschobjekt bis zu enger ganzer Fassadendekkoratioun, déi an e puer Minutten eng Zen-Atmosphär schafen. Modular Panneelen enthalen Magnéiten fir präzis Ausriichtungsefforte beim Bauen ze erliichteren, wat frëndlech fir visuell behënnert Leit, eeler Leit a Benotzer mat Handtremoren ass. Dat patentéiert modulaart System ass pittoresk mat räichem Textuer an organischt gefierft aus vollstänneg biologesch ofbaubarem Material.

Produktiounstechnologie
All modules are reconfigurable to eliminate any redundant purchases for building differently to improve sustainability. All mass-producible parts are made from fully biodegradable PLA. Only natural fibers including bamboo and algae are added to tune natural color and texture.
The patented ridges and valleys geometrically express zen with a hygienic and handy setup forming ever-changing puzzle patterns that improve accessibility and replayability.
Design Erausfuerderung
The core challenge was serving two audiences: offering a non-screen anxiety relief for individuals in quarantine and ensuring hotels, even as temporary isolation spaces, offering humane care through natural visuals and a universal zen cultural experience.

Another critical difficulty was ensuring the project allowed for easy reconfiguration by subsequent users over time, with potential future use as a playset for group activities and as an indoor installation adaptable to various scenarios.
Fuerschung
Research shows tactile activities reduce quarantine anxiety, digital fatigue, and physical interaction scarcity. Employing widely recognized Zen aesthetics and computational tools, we crafted a modular system based on Taoist principles. With just three angles, it enables infinite Zen landscapes, combining geometric innovation and tactile inclusivity. This approach facilitates easy, unique Zen space creation for meditation, requiring no sand or expertise, prioritizing ease and hygiene.
Inspiratioun
Zen, is globally acknowledged for cultivating inner peace through performing activities.

Artistic forms follow the aesthetic principles of Zen including simplicity; subtly profound grace, and tranquility.

Aligned with Daoism, one single base module demonstrates a sense of flow; the assembled mysterious patterns reflect the worldview of Buddhism.

It conveys the wisdom of simplexity: Identical base modules can be rearranged into millions of combinations, forming the system in play that manifests wabi-sabi both aesthetically and functionally.
Projetdauer
Launched in December 2021 and completed in July 2022, this project was initially developed during the pandemic for adults living in collective quarantine settings. It aimed to reduce the anxiety of remote working individuals.
This project won European Product Design Award, and International Design Awards in 2022, and was selected as finalists in Product and User Experience categories of iF Design Award in 2023. It was featured on Yanko Design in January and Puxiang Design in February 2023.
Operatiounsablaf
Zen Culture: Facilitates self-meditation and stress relief for adults, promoting inner balance through playful interaction.

Inclusive: Features guided magnetic assembly and tactile patterns, offering a multisensory, accessible experience.

Community & Sustainability: This art form's flexibility encourages communal creativity and sustainable decor changes, supporting social meditation and Wabi-Sabi appreciation. Its durable design allows for versatile display, embodying both reusability and aesthetic adaptability.
