Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of design with the ZENSO chair family, developed by the renowned designer duo Formstelle. This unique collection captivates with its sculptural character and was inspired by the Japanese word ""Ensō"".

The motif of the "Ensō", an important symbol in Japanese calligraphy, is reflected in the round circles that characterise the design of the ZENSO chairs. The "Ensō" is one of the most famous drawings in Japanese calligraphy. It embodies the entire Japanese aesthetic and is a symbol of enlightenment, elegance, the universe and emptiness.

Thus, the expressive wooden frame of the ZENSO chairs forms a harmonious connection with the two floating circles, which result from the seat shell and the backrest. This unique design gives the chairs a special expressiveness and attracts all eyes.

Design Studio Formstelle

The Formstelle design studio was founded in 2001 by Claudia Kleine and Jörg Kürschner. The two take on tasks in the fields of interior design, product design and corporate identity. For all points, the focus is also on the interrelationship between people and spatial perception. This is how authentic, unique and precisely coordinated designs and concepts are created. An in-house model-making workshop enables a hands-on approach to the subject during the design process.
