Ikuo Maeda, the company’s global head of design, joined two of his regional colleagues in Italy for the event to share inspiration with artists and creative professionals from across the globe, and he brought along a convention-defying creation of his own.
KODO was naturally the theme of the object designed by Mr. Maeda and his team in Hiroshima and unveiled in Milan together with Peter Birtwhistle as well as Derek Jenkins, respectively Mazda’s European and North American design chiefs.

Rather than an automobile, however, it was a provocative piece of furniture: the KODO Chair.

Despite being a stationary object, the futuristic KODO Chair clearly exudes motion.

Painstakingly crafted, there are distinct parallels between the chair and Mazda models with the KODO design, such as the ready-to-pounce, forward-leaning stance conveying the sudden release of pent-up energy.
