O-Yoga key production process description:
The traditional chair is usually in a fixed form, while the O-Yoga adopts a rotatable connection structure, which can change the form according to the number of people or different use scenarios, from three to six seats, providing users with a more flexible use mode.
Compared with the traditional hard chair, the O-Yoga introduces the design elements of the yoga ball, which increases the healthy functionality. The user can also perform some mild exercises when sitting down, and it can be easily removed when it needs to be replaced because of its softness and changeability.

O-Yoga functions and implementation possibilities:
The core component of the O-Yoga is the yoga ball. We have designed a deformable multifunctional seat, which realizes the shape change of the seat through the rotating spherical connector. Users can flexibly adjust the shape of the seat from three to six according to the number of people and the needs of the scene. The yoga ball is connected to the base through a rotatable mechanical structure, so that the seat can be turned up to serve as the backrest of the seat next to it.
O-Yoga can assemble all the parts together simply by using mechanical splicing.

Its core is the yoga ball and rotating connection structure, which can be adjusted to three seats, four seats, five seats or six seats according to the needs of the scene. Users can not only feel the comfort brought by the ergonomic design, but also perform light exercises while sitting down. The product uses environmentally friendly materials, supports recycling and recycling, and demonstrates the concept of sustainable design. Suitable for gyms, co-working spaces and leisure spaces, the O-Yoga is a functional and artistic health seat solution.
Creative Practice of O-Yoga
O-Yoga is an innovative yoga ball chair,. The original intention of the design stems from the reflection on the limitations of the fixed form and single function of the traditional chair. We use innovative rotating spherical connectors and flexible yoga balls to design the seat into flexible and deformable multifunctional furniture. The user can adjust the seat from three to six according to the scene requirements to meet a variety of use scenarios. At the same time, the unique dynamic balance function of the yoga ball chair not only provides a comfortable sitting feeling, but also allows users to achieve light physical exercise in daily life. In terms of material selection, the O-Yoga uses elastic materials combined with metal connectors to ensure the durability and comfort of the product. All parts are assembled by mechanical splicing, which is convenient for users to disassemble, recycle or replace, which fully reflects the concept of environmental protection and sustainability. In addition, the team cooperates with manufacturers to apply products to multiple scenarios, such as college cafes, gyms and co-working spaces, through large-scale mass production and promotion, to provide users with an innovative health seat experience. The O-Yoga draws inspiration from traditional Chinese culture, integrates the concept of "combination of movement and stillness" into the design, and emphasizes the dynamic function and static beauty of the seat. This echoes the values of the pursuit of harmony and unity of nature and function in Chinese design. The dynamic characteristics of yoga balls combined with modern mechanical structure show the transformation of traditional cultural connotation into modern product language. As a multifunctional seat, the O-Yoga is designed for users who focus on health and interactive experience, especially for Chinese college students, fitness enthusiasts and users of co-working space. Its flexible seat shape can meet the needs of different numbers and scenes, and enhance the interactive and cooperative atmosphere of social places. The design not only enriches the function of indoor public space, but also injects more vitality into the campus life of China Academy of fine arts. Through the arrangement of health seats, the pressure of students' study is relieved. O-Yoga are made with the environment in mind, with materials from sustainable suppliers and designed to be easy to dismantle and recycle. This circular design concept not only reduces the generation of waste, but also promotes the reuse of resources, which is in line with China's advocacy of green design in the context of the "double carbon" goal. The sustainability practices of the product are closely linked to the needs of modern society for environmental protection and economic cycles, demonstrating the social responsibility of the design team. The O-Yoga combines the global demand for healthy and functional furniture with the local characteristics of Chinese design, such as the balance of natural aesthetics and user experience. By cooperating with universities and applying products to real-world scenarios, our designs not only demonstrate the creativity of the new generation of Chinese designers, but also provide competitive and innovative design solutions for the global market.
We are a team of students from the China Academy of Art, committed to combining art and technology to create a better life experience for users. Our design concept takes "beauty and function coexist" as the core, pays attention to the practicality and aesthetic value of the product, and explores the application of cutting-edge technology in design. Through interdisciplinary cooperation and innovative thinking, we hope to integrate more human and environmental elements into the design, and provide new solutions for the future lifestyle with a unique perspective.
