So you are a modern samurai. So you are a wandering, masterless warrior without a chair to call your own. Problem solved! Masters of craft in Boulder, Colorado have come up with what you need to get down. In this very post there are two seats, each one made for those who wish to sit correctly at all times, with all company. Look at the fear in their faces when they realize how prepared you are to sit! Discover for yourself the fabulous simplicity of the Smart Seiza and the ravishing rugged nature of the Ronin Bench.

The Ronin Bench is designed to be “bio-mechanically correct” – you want to be able to put your knees all over the place, and yes, that’s what you’re gonna be doin with this sassy little number. Named after the wandering samurai of ancient Japan, this amalgamation of wood and rope and magnets was built to be portable an aesthetically minimal. It’s fully fold-down-able and utilizes strong magnets to hold the legs together in the open position. Dimensions folded; 14″ x 4″ x 2″, dimensions open; 14″ x 4″ x 6.75″, made of reclaimed walnut.

The Smart Seiza is made with a steeper angle for larger (or smaller) folks and, again, its legs fold up for a super satisfactory travel mode. Dimensions 17″ x 4.5″ x 7.5″ high, made of a Wormy Maple.

The reason both of these exist is to offer a sitting posture that “aligns the spine and optimizes energy flow” wherever you may be! Be that healthy samurai you’ve always aspired to be! NOTE: both of these bad-boys are unique, made by a single craftsman that works under the title Zen Posture. Lookemup!
