Entry Description

Mu is a meditation companion that blends sound, emotion, and cultural symbolism to redefine stereo. Inspired by Zen philosophy and wabi-sabi aesthetics, Mu turns meditation into a mindful ritual. Gentle tapping allows users to synchronize their breath with sound, fostering balance between body and mind. The brass surface gradually acquires unique marks from use, serving as reminders of growth, resilience, and the acceptance of imperfection. More than just an object, Mu becomes a personal companion that reflects the user's inner journey and encourages a mindful way of living.
