The Design
About Kodama Bar Stool バーシーティング
コダマ・バースツールは、カウンターやバーでの使用を想定した木製の座具である。ジャパンディの思想に基づき、地に根ざしたオーガニックな佇まいを追求した。ウォールナットとアップルウッドのコントラストが、あえて露出させた独自の木組みを際立たせている。伝統的な木工の知見をCNCルーターと組み合わせることで、より複雑かつ高精度な接合を実現した。スツールの寸法は幅45cm、奥行54cm、高さ66cm。コダマ（木霊）という名は「木の精霊」を意味し、再生可能な素材である木への敬意を込めたデザインである。

- 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.
