Walden

Walden: Objects for a More Intentional Life

Walden is a New York-based wellness design brand creating the most considered objects for meditation, stillness, and conscious living. Every piece is minimal, beautifully made, and deeply purposeful, designed for the person who treats their inner life with the same discernment they bring to everything else. This is not wellness as trend. This is wellness as a way of being.

For the Practice

• The Journey Set. A complete lying meditation system, foldable mat, buckwheat head pillow, and lavender-infused weighted eye mask. Handcrafted in New York.
• The Bouclé Meditation Cushion and Mat Set. Organic buckwheat-filled cushion and dense foam mat upholstered in textured bouclé. Handcrafted in New York.
• The Meditation Bench. Angled kneeling bench that tilts the pelvis forward for an effortless, upright spine. Minimal, portable, and precise.

For the Desk

The Journal Set (three linen-bound notebooks in a solid wood box) and the weighted Pen and Stand round out a collection that extends intentional living into every corner of the day.

In Collaboration

The Walden x Kozaburo Sashiko Pants and Jacket are crafted in Japan from premium Sashiko fabric, a collaboration between two studios that share a commitment to quiet craft and refined stillness.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is the most elegant object in the room that does the most important thing.

How long does the Planar Studio Gong take to ship?
The Planar Studio Gong is made to order and ships in approximately six weeks. It is a 32-inch Heng gong in a 40-inch steel frame, designed as a permanent statement piece for a meditation or wellness space.
