Text: Natalia Remmer THE WORLD OF FRAGILE BEAUTY IN YOUR GARDEN. FLOWERING HIBISCUS CHAIRS FROM MICROFIBER, RESIN AND STEEL. INSPIRED BY MOST NATURE, CREATIONS OF THE PHILIPPINES DESIGNER KENNET COBONPIE.
The young master from Cebu opens up the world of craft traditions of Southeast Asia, creating masterpieces from such materials traditional for the region as hemp, bamboo, storms and rattan. The Bloom collection is another inspiration from nature: weightless chairs in the form of exotic hibiscus flowers of green moss and lime, bright yellow, black and burgundy turn the interior into a flowering garden. The steel stalk-leg hides a blossoming microfiber bud. Frequent seams running from the core to the edges imitate the veins in the petals and give the buds a realistic look.
Among the customers of the Kenneth Cobonpue brand are Brad Pitt and other Hollywood celebrities, as well as members of the royal families. His work managed to "light up" on a wide screen - for example, in the films "13 Ocean's Friends" and CSI.
Kenneth Cobonpieu, winner of many prestigious awards, annually presents his original collections at design shows in different parts of the world - from Tokyo to Paris and New York.
