Walden

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.

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.

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.
