KODO Design is Mazda’s way of breathing soul and personality into metal, wood and leather using traditional tools, outstanding craftsmanship and the passion of an artist. As with traditional Japanese crafts, we start with a simple, sculpted form and as we create we design to achieve beauty without distraction or clutter.
MASTER PAINTER
THE HUMAN TOUCH
We use colour to bring the beauty of KODO design to life. TAKUMINURI is Mazda’s exclusive approach using advanced paint technology to create colours with rich depth and lustre that highlight every sensuous curve and line.
INTUITIVE FEELING OF CONTROL
CONNECTING CAR AND DRIVER
We start every interior with one focus: connecting the driver with their car. We build every vehicle around the driver and engineer technologies with the driver in mind so that everything feels intuitive and effortless.
REWARDING DRIVE
HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN
We use advanced techniques to study how people move and react as they drive and bring engineers and designers together to design cockpits and interiors based on a human-centric approach. When driving feels natural and stress-free, it gives the driver maximum control, complete safety and the ultimate driving pleasure.
