KYDO tray Oak Beige White - Kandikud

The Kydo tray is inspired by the ancient art of Japanese archery, kyudo. Precisely from the gesture of the archer who prepares to shoot, born the idea of the handle that is supported by the bow. Elegance, grace and strength, but also elasticity and robustness, these are the principles that have guided us in the design of this tray. Kydo is a very versatile object, is a toolbox practical for transporting small utensils and accessories. That can be used at home, in the kitchen or dining room, in the garden, or in the office to arrange in an elegant and practical way the stationery. Its convenient handle is suitable for carrying many objects in a practical and safe way, bottles and glasses, cutlery, biscuits with tea, magazines and books. Our design process in this case started with an image of an ancient Japanese print, depicting an archer stretching the bow. From there we began to draw some sketches on a sheet of paper and then the idea of a tray with a cylindrical handle to hold for transport was born. It was very simple actually, we believe that Kydo is perfect to fully express Gejst’s DNA, simplicity, timeless elegance, craftsmanship and quality of materials. Kydo is one of those projects that are born from the first thoughts with its own material and color. The shape of Kydo is born from the use of solid wood and curved wood. We then wanted to use different colors for the different parts in order to accentuate the construction method.
