Cocoda

Cocoda is a chair made of solid wood. The chair is characterized by intricate three-dimensional curved arms, which are carved from solid wood. This shape cannot be produced by bending wood. Each piece is hand-carved by craftsmen using Japanese planes and knives. The carved seat feels soft although the wood is hard, allowing long periods of sitting. The design keeps only the necessary functions, following the idea that simplicity brings comfort and beauty. The chair measures 700 mm in width, 520 mm in depth and 725 mm in height, with a seat height of 420 mm.

Water Ripples

The work is based on the water ripples, and it turns the natural scene into an interactive rocking chair that allows you to sit or lie down on the chair as if the body swings carefreely along with the movements of water ripples. The characteristic of it is the flowing texture of water ripples. No matter indoors or outdoors, especially where there is light, its water ripples will show natural light and shadow through the ground. It's like a ripple sculpture with artistic conception when it is at rest; however, it becomes a fascinating piece of furniture when an interaction occurs.

Flip

Flip Chair is inspired by the serene feeling of sitting on a grassy lawn, where one can enjoy the natural softness, warmth, and gentle breeze of the environment. The chair's flip theme embodies the graceful movement of grass in the wind, creating a dynamic and organic form. To achieve this effect, the fluidity and folds of the chair's seat are simulated and the wood was bent into shape using steam. The resulting product was then meticulously handcrafted to provide users with an authentic and immersive natural experience.

Florencia

The hooked leather or cotton offers a comfortable and beautiful spot to unwind. The hooked cloth relies on gravity to hold the sitter, creating a hammock feel that adapts to the user's contour. Its simplicity makes the lifespan of the chair last longer than most, easily adapting into any room and cleaned.
