Yoltic Seat

Michel Rojkind

A meditation chair made out of stone: an unlikely material for an activity that requires comfort, adaptation and flexibility. Yet, it is from this unlikeliness that the piece derives its character. Equipped with a keyboard-like movable installation of individual stone pieces on the surface where one is meant to sit, this chair adapts to the shape, position and weight of the meditator, allowing for an experience that is not only appropriate for mediation, but conducive to a communion with a natural material that is not often associated with this type of practice.

Yoltic Seat, by Michel Rojkind

Yoltic in Nahuatl means ‘the one who lives’. A way to restore and regenerate the balance the world needs, starts with each and every one of us. It starts from within. The daily practice of being aware of that fragility. We have a responsibility as humans, in our lifetime, to be as conscious as we can and be in harmony with our surroundings. We start this with self-awareness which is the base for collective consciousness.
