Hola Everyone! How are you all doing? This blog post features a shoot with the Tuanis Chair and Garden Box .
Designed by my company KMD Group (in the Costa Rican office) The Tuanis chair is a stylish tropically inspired lounge chair. It is the perfect piece of furniture for taking it easy and relaxing, especially for times like the current one, where a lot of us are sheltering in place and staying safe at home due to the COVID-19 situation.
The photos in this blogpost were taken earlier in the year and before the COVID-19 lockdown. I was happy to have social media influencer Segen Misghina join us on this shoot for the Tuanis Chair! Segen’s content creation work is one that is focused on beauty and lifestyle. She describes her work as stemming from her passion of “empowering women to own their true beauty”.
Check out her instagram page or her youtube channel.
The Tuanis Chair is designed to allow the user to delight in an elevated and stylish lounging experience. It is a piece of furniture that introduces a tropical feeling to a living space. The word “Tuanis” in Costa Rica means cool. The chair is made of high quality Costa Rican teak wood. It is a beautiful and unique statement piece that brings beauty into any space.
The Garden box as seen below is another item on KMD Group’s Furniture Line. The Garden Box is a modular furniture system made of high quality oak wood and consists of floor tiles and planters. The planters come in 3 different sizes and can also be transformed into an Ottoman or coffee table with the use of an accessory lid. The Garden Box system creates a space to revitalize your spirit by allowing you to be in contact with plants and wood. From using it for activities such as Yoga or just lounging, the possibilities are endless.
Some of my tips for working from home is to do so in a devoted part of your home, The Garden box is the perfect way to carve out a dedicated flexible space that you can even use as a unique office space. As we mentioned before being close to nature is always very healing. As well research has shown that Wood elicits feelings of natural warmth and comfort, that can have the effect to lower your blood pressure and heart rates, thus reducing stress and anxiety.
Creating a sense of movement, the shape of the chair invites you to fully relax just as you would if you were in a hammock surrounded by nature. Once you sit on the chair you will feel your body naturally slide into a comfortable position as the chair has been designed to have an organic form relating to the human body. It is perfect for relaxation. Recently exhibited at the 2020 Toronto Interior Design Show (IDS), the chair was selected by Design Lines Magazine to receive one of their “love tags” indicating that we were one of the favourites at the show. The Tuanis Chair was tested out by a lot of visitors to IDS, who were excited to try it out and gave it the thumbs up for comfort!
I had a lot of fun taking these images with Segen. Even though we are about 30 years apart, we still both rocked this shoot and had an amazing time together and Karimah our photographer took some cool shots. The three of us came together to create a memorable moment. I truly believe that beauty is ageless and that one can shine if we let our inner spirit glow. There is nothing more attractive than a women who is confident and is connected to her true self.
Okay thank you kindly for joining me on my latest blog post! Can’t wait to share more with you this upcoming year! In the meantime stay safe and wishing you light, peace and love.
