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.

The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design recognition program which celebrates superior design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
