HEMPLA — Embodied Design

HEMPLA

Sofia Hagen x Studio Marmi bring together the latest in innovative 3D printing technologies and traditional craftsmanship to create a timeless design dedicated to mindfulness: A 3D printed ergonomic seat made from organic sugarcane with a hand-woven hemp and wool rug, designed to support posture, movement flow, breathwork, and meditation alike — with integrated LED lighting to calm the mind.

HEMPLA is Neuehouse Design Award winner and has been featured as a recovery pit stop at the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center in Santa Monica, Sydenham Clinic in Beverly Hills, Unique Design in Mexico City, Milan Design Week, Funkhaus Vienna, and Roca Gallery in London.

Soundscape

HEMPLAWAVE

Each HEMPLA comes with the HEMPLAWAVE — a bespoke meditation soundscape composed by The Sound Nutritionist, based on the geometries, dimensions and material frequencies of the design, to complete an allover holistic mindfulness experience with healing frequencies balancing the nervous system.

HEMPLAWAVE weaves together theta waves to guide you into a meditative flow, the Schumann resonance — the Earth's own heartbeat — and the natural frequencies of wool and hemp. You don't just sit on the design, you hear it.

HEMPLA Movement Flow

Developed by Sofia Hagen with former Cirque du Soleil artist and dancer Silke Grabinger, the 12-minute HEMPLA Movement Flow combines guided movement, breath and the HEMPLAWAVE soundscape. Translating the principles of HEMPLA's geometry into an embodied sequence, it explores hip opening, spinal extension and chest expansion to support alignment, mobility and physical readiness.

Material & Craft

Grown,
not extracted.

Hemp is the unifying thread. A rapidly renewable crop with exceptional CO2-to-biomass conversion, naturally resistant to UV and mould. Organic hemp fibre is turned into 3D-printing pellets bound with bio-PLA from fermented sugarcane — one of the most energy-efficient fabrication methods, creating no formwork and no waste.

The rug is handwoven from undyed recycled hemp fibres and natural Turkish wool by artisans in Uşak, Türkiye — a quiet collaboration between digital fabrication and centuries-old craft.
