KAIROS

Kairos, an installation we can breath.

Kairos, an installation we can breathe. Kairos proposes an experiment designed for the body and mind. The Shinyshadows lights switches on and off progressively over five seconds periods. By synchronizing inspirations and expirations with these periods for five minutes, the body enters into “coherent breathing”. To install at home, at the office or in waiting rooms.

Mechanical Kairos

Mechanical Kairos is about a object, which is used to indicate the duration of the exercise of coherence breathing: the approach is individual.
Its rhythm is regulated according to comfort, or of a regulation of a therapeutist and then allows the practice in a not stressing and adapted way.
Worn on the wrist or in pocket, it transforms the clock object which was traditionally used to carry the hour, into a fetish object whose utility is to give the duration required for this exercise of recovery.

NAP BAR

A recovery moment, inspired by a quasi-universal tradition, known in many cultures: Nap.
Nap is a simple, universal and intuitive exercise. In the NAP BAR speech is silver, silence is gold. Voices are softened, phones are closed. An experience with benefits as much psychological as physical.

L’OBJET À SOUFFLER - TAKE A BREATH !

The object of exhale is an object to allow people to practise a daily five minutes exercise of its breath out, to extend their blow and to develop their muscles.
It was scientifically prooved that the exercise of breath out allows working your mouth, abdomen and diaphragm muscles.
