About Cocoda खुर्ची

कोकोडा ही घन लाकडापासून बनवलेली खुर्ची आहे. या खुर्चीचे वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे तिचे गुंतागुंतीचे त्रिमितीय वक्राकार हात, जे घन लाकडातून कोरून तयार केले आहेत. हा आकार लाकूड वाकवून तयार करता येत नाही. प्रत्येक तुकडा कारागीर जपानी रंधे आणि सुऱ्या वापरून हाताने कोरतात. लाकूड कठीण असले तरी कोरलेली बैठक मऊ जाणवते, ज्यामुळे दीर्घकाळ बसणे शक्य होते. साधेपणातून आराम आणि सौंदर्य मिळते या विचाराला अनुसरून या डिझाइनमध्ये केवळ आवश्यक कार्येच ठेवली आहेत. या खुर्चीची रुंदी ७०० मिमी, खोली ५२० मिमी आणि उंची ७२५ मिमी असून बैठकीची उंची ४२० मिमी आहे.

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.
