About Cocoda Cadair
Cadair wedi'i gwneud o bren solet yw Cocoda. Nodweddir y gadair gan freichiau crwm tri dimensiwn cywrain, sydd wedi'u cerfio o bren solet. Ni ellir cynhyrchu'r siâp hwn drwy blygu pren. Mae pob darn yn cael ei gerfio â llaw gan grefftwyr gan ddefnyddio plaeniau a chyllyll Japaneaidd. Mae'r sedd gerfiedig yn teimlo'n feddal er bod y pren yn galed, gan ganiatáu eistedd am gyfnodau hir. Mae'r dyluniad yn cadw'r swyddogaethau angenrheidiol yn unig, gan ddilyn y syniad bod symlrwydd yn dod â chysur a harddwch. Mae'r gadair yn mesur 700 mm o led, 520 mm o ddyfnder a 725 mm o uchder, gydag uchder sedd o 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.
