Furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue has done it once again with his unique approach to furniture. Representing the Philippines at the 22nd Annual IIDA/HD Product Design Competition held in Las Vegas, he took home the award for Best Seating. The piece is called the Peacock Easy Chair that features the use of rattan.
In the official press release, it stated, “With numerous international accolades to his name, Cobonpue has positioned himself as an international symbol of the artistry and craftsmanship for which the Philippine archipelago is globally known.”
After seeing the Peacock chair, we wanted to go through the other pieces he has made and pick out the ones we would love to see in our own space. From the living room to patio elements, here are some Kenneth Cobonpue furniture worth splurging on.
Kai Z Floor Lamp
Place this: By your reading chair in your living room
Reading in the dark is a bad idea, so give yourself an ample light source with this floor lamp. It is made of woven Buri palm and a steel frame. Inside the woven palm is a handmade paper diffuser, which gives the light a softer feel. Available at The Residences, San Lorenzo Tower, Makati City.
Biba Mirror
Place this: In your guest bathroom
Add some life to your bathroom walls with an exciting mirror. Inspired by arthropods, this is made of rattan woven on a steel frame. The rattan is also hand-dyed black and orange, which will also act as a pop of color. It also comes in two different sizes so you can pick which one best suits your space. Available at The Residences, San Lorenzo Tower, Makati City.
Adesso Ottoman
