The Design

About Kodama Bar Stool Scaun de Bar

Scaunul de bar Kodama este un scaun din lemn conceput pentru utilizare la tejghele și baruri. Designul urmează o abordare Japandi, cu un aspect echilibrat și organic. Contrastul dintre lemnul de nuc și cel de măr evidențiază îmbinările originale din lemn, care rămân vizibile. Cunoștințele tradiționale de tâmplărie sunt combinate cu o freză CNC, permițând realizarea unor îmbinări de o complexitate și precizie mai mari. Scaunul are 45 cm lățime, 54 cm adâncime și 66 cm înălțime. Numele Kodama înseamnă spiritul copacului, iar designul aduce un omagiu lemnului ca material regenerabil.

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.
