Nebula Shell: A Microcosmic Universe in 0.5 Square Meters



Tucked within the contours of Nebula Shell, the world begins to recede. This sculptural, egg-shaped rocking chair invites you not simply to sit, but to drift—physically, emotionally, cosmically. In just half a square meter, it cradles the body and expands the mind.



Conceived as a “microcosmic universe,” Nebula Shell is more than a feat of design, it is a quiet revolution in how we experience space, solitude, and technology. At a moment when design is shifting toward deep humanism, this chair offers a profound synthesis, syncing the rhythms of the body with the breath of nature, forging a digital dialogue with memory and place, and balancing material comfort with ecological responsibility.



Its curved interior, lined with soft textures, invites full recline. Above, a seamless transparent LED screen arches like a sky dome, streaming ever-shifting scenes: the shimmer of early sunlight through ocean waves, the lavender dusk over distant mountains. These visual tapestries are dynamically linked to ambient data with light, time, and weather—making every session a uniquely personal vignette.



Other than sight, integrated speakers hum with environmental sounds—wind threading through leaves, waves folding onto shore. This Nebula Shell is more than a piece of furniture but a threshold between the self and something vaster.



It remains deeply intimate. Its name, Shell, protects, contains, and listens. The act of laying within it is primal, meditative. Like a return to the origins of comfort and care.



In a time obsessed with scale and spectacle, Nebula Shell offers a radical inversion, a vast emotional terrain hidden within a small physical gesture. It reminds us that wonder doesn’t require distance. It can begin, gently, in the radius of a half-meter swing.
