BALENA

Inspired by the gentle grace of a whale, Balena invites adults to reconnect with their inner child. Through biomimicry and exaggerated scale, it transforms the simple act of sitting into a moment of calm curiosity and reflection. Balena explores how design can evoke the emotional landscapes of childhood; inviting users to rest, dream, and rediscover the sense of wonder once found in a world much larger than themselves.
