Alexia Nascimento Roizner is a meditation devotee, but she hadn’t mastered getting comfortable. Her husband used his textile engineer degree to improve the functionality, comfortability, and beauty of this gorgeous seat. This design is based on research of ancient Zen & Yoga books to find the right combination of support, comfort, and beauty.

Alexia’s internal foundation points help your body find perfect sukhasana pose. Also known as “easy seated pose,” sukhasana is used in yoga for easing hip tension and reducing stress. Alexia raises the hips and angles them forward to naturally make you sit up straight, while your legs fold underneath you—without the pressure of your body weight.

Alexia’s lotus-like design is enhanced by richly colored fabric or leather—it’s an unusual-but-practical piece. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or just watching TV, Alexia can improve your meditation practice as well as your posture.
