Sound and character
The classical sound chair's monochord tuning sings across two octaves: the overtone side weaves a dense, floating sound carpet, while the bass side lays down a deep, gently vibrating foundation. The cloud of sound surrounds the client, and the side panels and "ears" of the seat act as both protection and a resonant body. Vibration travels softly across shoulders, back, and thighs, reaching all the way to the fingertips.
How to use
The classic sound chair is built for communal spaces, kindergartens and wellness settings. It gives security to clients who appreciate clear boundaries: the high sides envelop the body, so sound and vibration enter through skin and bone.
Why this product
- Two octaves, 60 strings — an endless sound carpet on a single chair

Care tips
- Keep in a room with stable temperature and humidity (the included hygrometer helps)

- We recommend the adjustable armrests (ARM) and the seat + neck cushion set (KIS-K2) for added comfort
- Do not use harsh cleaning agents — a soft, dry cloth is enough
