These words represent an underlying order for believers. Since the word Dharma translates into support, it only makes sense that a chair was designed using these elements. It was designed by [Palette Industries](http://www.paletteindustries.com). **Implications** - The popularity of alternative therapies such as yoga and meditation has exploded in recent years, and designers in every industry are capitalizing on consumers' increased focus on holistic principles.
