Mantra® is a sophisticated and adaptable seating solution, perfect for a variety of spaces, including private offices, boardrooms, huddle rooms, and more. Conceptualized by in-house industrial designer Nita Chakravarty, Mantra is characterized by a Lemniscate, a mathematical symbol that represents the concept of infinity. Coined by the symbol, Mantra features a unique Lemni Arm, which is an integral part of the chair as it connects the seat, back, and arms together in a manner that is aesthetically intricate, yet functionally simple. Initially, Nita didn’t have a concept in mind when she began designing Mantra. She often starts a design process by sketching first and allowing her mind to follow, rather than the other way around. She finds that it allows her to see patterns emerge in the sketches; it really gives her permission to create something unique and exciting, rather than trying to fit the mold of what a chair should be.
Ultimately, Nita designed Mantra’s components to come together as one piece to form a fully integrated seating solution that can be specified in a variety of materials and finishes, including aluminum, wood, poly, and fully upholstered. As such, Mantra is available in over thirty configurations, thereby allowing specifiers to maintain a cohesive look throughout a space while considering functional needs that vary from room to room.
