About Kodama Bar Stool Eisteddle Bar
Mae'r Kodama Bar Stool yn sedd bren wedi'i dylunio ar gyfer defnydd wrth gownteri a bariau. Mae'r dyluniad yn dilyn dull Japandi gyda golwg naturiol a diaddurn. Mae cyferbyniad rhwng pren cnau Ffrengig a phren afal yn amlygu'r asiadau pren gwreiddiol, sy'n aros yn weladwy. Cyfunir gwybodaeth draddodiadol o waith coed â router CNC, gan alluogi asiadau o gymhlethdod a manwl gywirdeb mwy. Mae'r stôl yn mesur 45 cm o led, 54 cm o ddyfnder a 66 cm o uchder. Mae'r enw Kodama yn golygu ysbryd y goeden, ac mae'r dyluniad yn talu teyrnged i bren fel deunydd adnewyddadwy.

- Wood joinery, stool, furniture, autocad, fusion 360, cnc router, cnc machine
- Production Technology
- The challenge of this project was devising a method to program the powerful CNC router to delicately manifest the design through complex coding of the toolpaths and precision workholdings of the components on the machine. This innovative process has many more exciting years of refinement ahead as we are just beginning to open the door to a new era of parametric design and manufacturing that will allow human creativity to flourish with these new capabilities.
- Design Challenge
- This is a new field of manufacturing with little education opportunities available so I'm self-taught and continually making everything up as I go. I wake up every day feeling like the luckiest guy in the world to be on this creative adventure.
- Inspiration
- The word Kodama translates to the "spirit of the tree". The intent behind the Kodama Bar Stool is to pay tribute to wood, one of our world's most renewable materials, and to honor the tree that granted us its life's work.
The goal of this project was to combine the knowledge of traditional woodworking with a CNC router to accomplish joinery that was previously unobtainable in complexity and precision. - Project Duration
- The project started in 2016 in the mountains of Colorado and was finished in Southern California in March 2019.
- Operation Flow
- Visible and honest wood joinery designed to hopefully endure through generations of daily use.
