ZEN

A modular rug to stimulate body & mind

Winner in the Interior & Lifestyle Category

Inspired by the sensation of walking barefoot through nature, the ZEN modular rug invites a deep connection with your surroundings. With three distinct embossed patterns, each offers a unique sensory experience, transforming your floor into a new tactile experience. Its soft, sculpted surface gently stimulates your feet. This strengthens the foot muscles and relieves tension in the entire musculoskeletal system. The three-dimensional surface was produced in an innovative way, namely by thermoforming Swiss virgin wool felt. The natural material fosters a harmonious and clear indoor climate.

Jury Statement: In times when every gram of plastic produced is one gram too much, Zen offers an attractive and practical alternative, as the temporary transport of food, cosmetics, and other products needs to be realized. In any case, a concept worth pursuing further.

Hi, I’m Julia. Curiosity, creativity, and passion define me. After graduating in business & economics I gained 8 years of professional experience in project management. I’ve always been particularly interested in the fields of innovation and corporate development in conjunction with sustainability. I delved deeper into the topic of circular design during my studies in Industrial Design at HGK in Basel, which I completed in the summer of 2024. I’m driven by a deep interest in the broader systems that shape a sustainable future, and I aim to make a meaningful contribution through my design work.
