“The Ritual Rest” is a device that beautifully melds Thai and Chinese traditions, designed to deepen the spiritual experience. Inspired by the prayer bench—a piece of furniture that facilitates a connection to the spiritual through proper posture—this device acts as a medium for users to engage fully in their worship.
“The Ritual Rest” elevates the prayer experience by engaging the five senses, creating a comprehensive environment for devotion. It begins with visual engagement, drawing the eyes to its culturally rich design. This sensory journey continues with the introduction of scents, marking the true commencement of the ceremony. Participants then interact tactilely, touching—and possibly tasting—elements of the ritual. The experience culminates in a gentle auditory retreat as sounds slowly fade, leaving a lasting impression of tranquility and reverence.
