Description(English)	cocoda chair is made from solid wood, hand carved by craftsman using traditional Japanese tools, such as blades and planes. It feels soft, even though it is made of wood, and gives comfort in any position you take. The organic form and the comfortability fascinate many people. Even in our increasingly mechanized world, complex cubic curves to fit human body cannot be made by machine. We believe that our skills to mass produce this chair, by hand, with the quality of one-of-a-kind piece, is a value no one could imitate. With our uniqueness and the power to constantly create new things, we have no fear of the development of AI.
Description(Native)	cocoda chairは、完璧な座り心地を実現するために、無垢の木の塊を日本の手道具である鉋や刀などの刃物で削り出して作っています。 職人がひとつひとつ手彫りで仕上げた無垢材は、硬い木でありながら柔らかく感じるほど座り心地が良く、何時間座っていても疲れません。そのように作られた 有機的で美しいフォルムは使う人を惹きつけます。 また、人間の身体に最もフィットする複雑な3次曲線は機械で作ることができません。手作業で作られたこの椅子を、オンリーワンの品質で大量生産できることは、他にはない新しい価値だと考えています。今後、AIの発達でモノづくりの世界は厳しくなると言われていますが、常に新しいクリエイションを生み出す力と個性があれば怖いものはありません。
