Modular Zen

Hara Design is the source for asian modular furniture. Their designs are not only stable, but they can be combined to form more functional options. I can't read japanese, but the designs transcend the language barrier, making them universally understood.

Take their ZA Stool for instance. By itself, it functions as a sturdy stool, ottoman or low seating for a low dinner table, but pair it with two or more of it's kind and you get an equally functional spot to lay down and rest.

Take a gander at some of their other products. Great tables and shelves for both the East and the West of the planet!
