Korsi

A korsi (also spelled as korsí) (Persian spelling: کرسی) is a type of low table found in Iran, with a heater underneath it, and blankets thrown over it. It is a traditional item of furniture in Iranian culture. A family or other gathering sits on the floor around the "korsi" during meals and special events, like Nowruz (Persian/Zoroastrian New Year's Eve). "Korsi" used to be quite popular for entire families to gather together during yearly Yaldā celebrations.
