The Cymatix is a semi-enclosed Chaise Lounge / Recliner with embedded patent pending technology. It was designed to facilitate deep relaxation that often leads to creative insight, boosts alertness, and promotes improved overall well-being. It provides comparable benefits to that of a full body massage, acupuncture, meditation, float tank experience, or a sound bath. Our own patent pending technology is embedded within the beautiful shell of the Cymatix, facilitating a superior experience in just 20 minutes.
The shell extends past the seat of the Cymatix in order to provide privacy without fully enclosing the unit. By doing so, the space doesn't induce claustrophobia. By slicing through the barrel shape of the shell at 2 angles, the form of the Cymatix challenges monotony & predictability.
The gentle-curved threshold carved into the shell provides ease of getting on and off of the Cymatix, while paying tribute to a sound wave.
The seat of the Cymatix is influenced by Eames Chaise Lounge by California's own Charles and Ray Eames. Seat ergonomics account for various body types, heights, and weights, while the gel memory foam cushion and the supple perforated faux-leather provides for optimal comfort.
