The PLANK is a ground seat inspired by the Indian traditional seating, a chowki. The design does not seek to reinvent but to refine and adapt in the modern home. It offers the benefit of the most inherent style of sitting, cross-legged; this nostalgic wide seat is elevated on slender wood runners with a simple insert and screw connection. The PLANK is the most compact of the RISE dining family which is the space-saving star in any home. It perfectly nests under the body of the SLIDE and GROUP low tables when not in use.
The edge to edge precision in craftsmanship gives a symbiotic design relationship between, PLANK to other products which lends possibilities to stack, nest, group and extend seating. The PLANK is a modern and wistful affection for India's past, blurring the line between “the then” and “the today”. It carries nostalgic attachments to reverence and wellbeing benefits of grounding one’s energy to the abundance of earth's electric charge.
