About Cocoda Karrige

Cocoda është një karrige e realizuar nga druri masiv. Karrigia karakterizohet nga krahë të lakuar tredimensionalë me forma të ndërlikuara, të cilët janë gdhendur nga druri masiv. Kjo formë nuk mund të prodhohet duke përkulur drurin. Çdo pjesë gdhendet me dorë nga mjeshtër artizanë duke përdorur zdrukthe dhe thika japoneze. Ndenjësja e gdhendur ndihet e butë megjithëse druri është i fortë, duke mundësuar qëndrimin ulur për periudha të gjata. Dizajni ruan vetëm funksionet e nevojshme, duke ndjekur idenë se thjeshtësia sjell rehati dhe bukuri. Karrigia ka përmasa 700 mm gjerësi, 520 mm thellësi dhe 725 mm lartësi, me një lartësi ndenjëseje prej 420 mm.

Unique Properties: The cocoda chair is characterized by its intricate three-dimensional curved arms, which are made by carving solid wood . This shape cannot be made by bending the wood.
We thought that a simple chair with only the necessary functions is the most comfortable and most beautiful.
The beautiful organic form of this product attracts users to touch it. Each piece is hand-carved out of solid wood using Japanese hand tools.
Dimensions & Packaging: W700mm D520mm H725mm SH420mm
Tags: chair, bench, furniture, wood, Japan, Tokyo, craftsmanship
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.
