A modular carpet to stimulate body and mind

Do you remember the lightness you felt as a child, running barefoot? That feeling of freedom and comfort. Not only does barefoot walking benefit mental relaxation, but it also promotes foot health. The modular ZEN carpet encourages carefree, barefoot walking at home. It stimulates the feet, enhances balance, and stability, allowing our feet to carry us through life’s adventures pain-free.

With felt-embossed patterns, the carpet stimulates foot reflexes in various ways. ZEN can be assembled from three patterns and different color options. Thanks to the Velcro fasteners, elements can be swapped, cleaned, or attached. The natural felt cushions the steps, warms the floor, and creates a relaxed indoor climate.
