About Cocoda Tool
Cocoda on täispuidust valmistatud tool. Tooli iseloomustavad keerukad kolmemõõtmelised kaardus käetoed, mis on nikerdatud täispuidust. Sellist vormi ei ole võimalik saavutada puidu painutamise teel. Iga detail on käsitööliste poolt käsitsi nikerdatud Jaapani höövlite ja nugade abil. Nikerdatud iste tundub pehme, kuigi puit on kõva, võimaldades pikaajalist istumist. Disain säilitab ainult vajalikud funktsioonid, järgides põhimõtet, et lihtsus toob mugavuse ja ilu. Tooli laius on 700 mm, sügavus 520 mm ja kõrgus 725 mm, istme kõrgus on 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.
