Kumiko Series

Black and honey wheat drums with a CNC-machined isogrid shell and open response.

Overview

Kumiko translates a Japanese woodworking tradition into precision machining.

The isogrid pattern is machined directly into the shell, so the surface changes as the light moves across it.

The result is a drum with a quieter visual rhythm, open response, and unmistakably Robot clarity.
