The collection

The Calm Commuter on the wall by a front door, above a shelf with the keys, in morning light, in white oak

Know when to leave

The Calm Commuter hangs by the door and shows the next trains from your station, in ink, not light. You glance at it on the way out.

Two woods, and nothing else

Every piece comes in solid white oak or walnut, never veneer, never plastic.

White oak

Pale and tight-grained, finished with a clear hardwax oil. It warms toward honey over the years.

Walnut

Deep brown with a soft, wavy figure. In daylight it slowly mellows to a warmer, lighter brown.

How it's made

Made in small batches in Queens.

For now Komado is one person and a table saw. Each frame is cut, finished and put together by hand, a few at a time. Our story

  1. 01

    Cut

    Mitered from solid boards, so the long grain runs all the way round.

  2. 02

    Finished

    Sanded by hand and oiled on every face, inside and out, so it stays flat.

  3. 03

    Built

    The screen and electronics go in from the back, with screws, never glue, so it can be repaired.

  4. 04

    Numbered

    Tested, then packed with a numbered, signed card.
