Alberto Frias, artist and designer of the Transport Perceptual Pod (2002) trigerred the revolution into the wellness home furniture genre, with his unique meditation pod, that was designed to provide an ultimate relaxing environment through the combination of light, sound and space. The Mexican designer has mastered the art of designing furniture to fit the modern lifestyle. Most of his projects are based on the concept of spirituality and hence all the furniture he makes has a power of inner healing. While his Transport pod was outfitted with high-tech features, including speakers and an array of light-emitting diodes synchronized to music for ultimate relaxation, the designer is back yet again to tickle your senses to rejuvenate your senses with his new OM Meditation Pod.
This pod creates a personal meditation environment as it features personal light, sound and space. The pod has a sound system attached to it that gives a melodious sound of OM’ (a chant used for meditation) that is also known as a sound of universe. This sound creates a positive energy around you to provide a perfect environment relax. The pod is an oval cocoon that has a shiny white polish with a comfortable interior. The moment you rest your back inside the white doomed space, you can experience the sound of OM chanting as it has Anthony Gallo Acoustics Nucleus Micro Ti loudspeakers and dim lights.
The pod is handcrafted by fiberglass shell and is equipped with LED lights with eco-friendly sound systems. The interior is decked with comfortable cushions that are made of organic cotton. The meditation pod can be customized with different finishes, colors and materials. With the dimensions of 62″ L x 34″ W x 55″ H the pod can be adjusted anywhere in a small and cozy corner.
Special features:
· The sound system is Anthony Gallo high fidelity sound system
· Eco-friendly pod with organic cotton cushions
· soy based fiberglass
· Phillips color kinetics LED lighting system
· Gel coat exterior and matte finish interior
The designer is overwhelmed with the response and states:
The new OM Meditation Pod is a transformation from my original Transport Perceptual Pod. It allows you to sit straight up and meditate while relaxing in a soothing audio/visual experience. As you sit facing back, you absorb the white domed space, which transforms into a personal sky for a fusion of colored light and resonating sound. To make this all work, I needed to find a small speaker that could be tucked away while still sounding pristine. The Anthony Gallo speakers perform that function brilliantly.
The pod that weighs 100 lbs can be delivered within six weeks of the order and costs whooping $12000.
