Because its design inspiration comes from canine claws, and uses the ancient Greek philosophical school of cynicism as the spiritual direction of the design, it is named Cynicism. The shape of the knee is raised to support the outside of the knee of both legs to avoid the force of the thigh root and ankle. The internal space design of the seat fully considers the comfortable placement of the left and right heels, and the convex shape of the front end and the concave shape of the two sides can make the instep stretch and fit properly. The depression in the middle of the sitting surface can effectively relieve the compression of urinary organs caused by sedentary. The sitting surface and knee rest are added with gel memory sponge in addition to the internal shaping sponge, which has better heat dissipation and softness. In order to maintain the human body support strength and service life of the seat, we have added a three-dimensional metal skeleton inside it, which is designed according to the requirements of mold opening, and the thickness interval with the external shaping sponge effectively ensures the softness of the sitting feeling. The seat is a kind of furniture to help people better enter the state of meditation, and can also be used for various activities of cross-legged sitting.
