Nepenty 001 — Seat
A low aluminium seat, drawn from the traditional East Asian seiza.
The cushion is tilted, so your weight goes through the sit bones and your spine stays upright. The base stays open: nothing is trapped under you, and nothing has to be moved before you stand.
For meditation, for reading, for working at a low table. Light enough to carry from room to room.
Six colours: cream, taupe, dark brown, black, gray, and blue.
Details
Materials
Frame: aluminium.
Cushion: wool felt. No foam, no synthetic fill.
Feet: felt pads. It can be set down on a tatami mat without marking it.
Cover: Kvadrat Tonus 4 — 90% new wool, 10% Helanca — designed by Nina Koppel and woven in Great Britain. It meets the EU Ecolabel and is rated to 100,000 Martindale rubs, several times what domestic upholstery is tested to.
Dimensions
38.6 × 21.3 × 20.6 cm (W × D × H).
Fit
Rated to 100 kg.
Weight goes through the sit bones, not the legs. The base stays open, so nothing is trapped underneath you and nothing has to be moved before you stand.
Care
Aluminium: wipe with a damp cloth and dry it. Nothing abrasive, no solvents.
Wool: vacuum on low with the upholstery head. Blot spills straight away — cold water, no rubbing. Do not machine-wash or tumble-dry; professional cleaning only. Keep it out of long direct sun.
