NITYA YANTRA - A TRANSFORMING FURNITURE

The term 'yantra' is an amalgamation of the Sanskrit root 'yam', which means liberation from birth and rebirth, and 'nitya', which means eternal. The Yantra collection revolves around the 16 Nitya Shakti Yantras. These Shakti Yantras portray the 16 phases of the moon and illustrate the transformation from no moon to a full moon phase. The operation of Yantra is based on the theory of "shape energy,” also known as "form energy.” The Nitya Yantra Lounger can be positioned into 16 shapes based on the 16 phases of the moon, revolving around 16 Nitya Shakti yantras.

Morphing furniture has been ingeniously crafted to accommodate a total of 16 distinct positions, each of which has been meticulously tailored to cater to the nuanced preferences of the human form. This unique design was motivated by the Nitya Shakti Yantras, which are renowned for their depiction of the 16 phases of the moon. The expression ‘yantra’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘yam’ – essentially meaning liberation from birth and rebirth & Nitya meaning eternal.
