KOMA is a handmade wood furniture atelier in Ogikubo, Tokyo, founded in 2003 by Shigeki Matsuoka — recognized by the Japanese government as a “Contemporary Master Craftsman” in 2020. He leads a small team making furniture and wooden objects entirely by hand.
Each piece starts as a sketch, then a drawing, then a one-of-a-kind prototype. Grain and color are chosen under natural light, and shaping and finishing are done by hand to bring out the character of each piece.
That handwork limits how much can be made at once. KOMA calls it “furniture as a partner of your life” — made to stay part of everyday life for years.
