About Cocoda Lingkuranan

Ang Cocoda usa ka lingkuranan nga hinimo sa lig-on nga kahoy. Ang lingkuranan gihulagway sa detalyado nga tulo-ka-dimensyon nga kurbado nga mga bukton, nga kinulit gikan sa lig-on nga kahoy. Kini nga porma dili mahimo pinaagi sa pagbawog sa kahoy. Ang matag piraso kinamot nga gikulit sa mga batid nga manggagama gamit ang mga Japanese nga sepilyo ug kutsilyo. Ang kinulit nga lingkoranan mobati og humok bisan tuod gahi ang kahoy, nga makapahimo sa taas nga panahon sa paglingkod. Ang disenyo nagtipig lamang sa gikinahanglan nga mga gimbuhaton, nga nagsunod sa ideya nga ang kayano nagdala og kahamugaway ug katahom. Ang lingkuranan adunay sukod nga 700 mm ang gilapdon, 520 mm ang giladmon ug 725 mm ang gitas-on, uban sa gitas-on sa lingkoranan nga 420 mm.

Production Technology
It is created by carving a solid block of wood with a knife in order to achieve perfect seating comfort. This expresses a level of comfort that cannot be achieved with bent wood, cushions or springs. Japanese hand tool planes and knives are essential for this.
Design Challenge
As a craftsman, this chair requires daily training and skill. It took nine years from the first model to the current model. Designing a chair is very difficult due to various limitations such as strength, structure, and seating comfort, but the challenge is worth it.
Research
Every part of the product should have a meaning.It should have an excellent function.This is the ultimate in simplicity.We believe that the pursuit of simplicity results in beautiful design.
Inspiration
The complex cubic curves that best fit the human body cannot be created by machines. We believe that being able to mass-produce these chairs, made by hand, with one-of-a-kind quality is a new value that cannot be found anywhere else.
It is said that the world of manufacturing will become more difficult in the future with the development of AI, but there is nothing to fear if we have the power and individuality to constantly create new creations.
Project Duration
The cocoda chair 2020 in its current form has undergone a series of model changes since 2011 and was completed in 2020.
It is manufactured at KOMA Corporation in Tokyo, Japan.
Operation Flow
The solid wood is individually hand-carved by craftsmen, which makes the seat so comfortable that it feels soft even though it is hard wood, allowing the user to sit for hours without getting tired.
