About Kodama Bar Stool Kiti cha Kukaa Baa

Kiti cha Baa cha Kodama ni kiti cha mbao kilichobuniwa kwa matumizi kwenye kaunta na baa. Muundo huu unafuata mtindo wa Japandi wenye mwonekano wa asili na uliokita mizizi. Mchanganyiko wa rangi tofauti za mbao za walnut na mtofaa unaonyesha wazi ufundi wa asili wa kuunganisha mbao, ambao unabaki dhahiri kuonekana. Maarifa ya kitamaduni ya useremala yameunganishwa na mashine ya CNC router, jambo linaloruhusu muunganiko wa mbao wenye ugumu na usahihi wa hali ya juu zaidi. Kiti hiki kina upana wa sentimeta 45, kina cha sentimeta 54, na urefu wa sentimeta 66. Jina Kodama lina maana ya roho ya mti, na muundo huu ni heshima kwa mbao kama malighafi inayoweza kurejeshwa upya.

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.
