Description
The Temple of Zero Gravity (Tozty) is the progeny of Geodesic Temple and the Zero Gravity Chair.
Tozty is composed of a unique octahedron framing rows of Zero Gravity Chairs. The sculpture rests on a single point--one of the vertices of the octahedron. Burners who climb up the stairs inside the lower edges of the structure to access upper levels can then recline on the Zero G Chairs. Those chairs are designed to alleviate some of the sensations of gravity making them precious waking dreams enablers.
Inspired by NASA's design to minimize the trauma that the thrust of a Saturn V lift-off could inflict on the body of the astronauts, Disorient's Zero G Chairs distributes the weight of the body evenly on the surface of the chair. Once you forget your body, sky's the limit.
Zero G Chairs have been part of our visual vocabulary since Disorient's inception at the very beginning of the second millennium.
