About Kodama Bar Stool 吧台座椅
Kodama吧台凳是一款专为吧台与酒吧场景设计的木质座椅。设计秉承"日式北欧"（Japandi）风格理念，呈现沉稳而质朴的自然气质。胡桃木与苹果木的材质对比，凸显出别具匠心的木榫结构，并将其完整地展露于外。设计将传统木工技艺与CNC数控雕刻相结合，实现了更为复杂精密的榫卯连接。座凳尺寸为宽45厘米、深54厘米、高66厘米。"Kodama"意为"树之灵"，这一设计正是向木材这一可再生材料致以敬意。

- 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.
