KENNETH COBONPUE

The story of storks in flight carrying new-born babies by their beaks; and delivering them to new parents. This ubiquitous bedtime story in my childhood is etched, sketched, and interpreted as the Lasso. A visual allegory symbolizing a new life of serenity and peace. Waves of rattan or polyethylene strips, carefully bent in varying width and wrapped in a steel frame, simulates the movement of the wind. Drift away in a flight of dreams nestled in comfort and solitude in our luxurious Lasso.

Sultry, sensuous, and curvaceous.

Fandango captures the power and expression of a Flamenco dancer twirling in space. Petals of cotton fabric are shaped to diffuse light and portray the drama of dancing in the wind.

The yearning for a quiet and simple life—to be surrounded only by what is essential and meaningful. To contemplate and marvel at nature and create beautiful experiences. “Katachi,” which in Japanese means “form and design,” is a mindset of putting together, and composing all things purposefully and functionally. My travels to Japan made me admire how the people expressed this in every aspect of their daily life. I had the pleasure of learning the Japanese art of knotting and wrapping cloth. It is fascinating how the Japanese artistically wrap a bento box and its contents. This wall installation, “Linya,” is my expression of reverence for all things natural and beautiful. Think of this as my biggest gift to you. A larger-than-life bow drawn from a single line—gracefully merging, continuously connecting, like ribbons overlapping and receding; giving depth and drama as light dances around, casting playful shadows from the layers of intersecting curves and lines of rattan.

All things around us, tangible and intangible, exist as inseparable and contradictory. Yin and Yang—a fusion of equal opposites that attract and complement: dark-light, black-white, day-night. Yin & Yang, the first Kenneth Cobonpue collection, was inspired and created from this philosophy. Alternating weaves of rattan or polyethylene strips, wrapped on a rigid and perfectly bent steel frame, display a solid form with a transparent volume.

The art of pressing fresh flowers to create an artistic foliage resembles the fluid lines in our Bouquet—a cluster of Cosmos, etched on a fiber-reinforced-polymer surface.

Our dainty Bouquet coffee table, mounted on a stainless steel base, is a stunning interpretation of an Oshibana, a beautiful bouquet of flowers made to last forever.

Let the warm light of the Kai collection lead you home. Buri woven over a light steel frame in a linear pattern creates a strong contrast against a handmade paper diffuser.

Scroll back in the early 19th century—the Victorian era that transformed the art of bookbinding. Leaf through an old book, page after page. Natural, rustic, handmade, and antiquated. Ragged and feather-edged, folded over and over. Beautifully bound and showing its aged ridges. A glimpse of this old world comes to life as we refashion the art of manuscript binding through layers of fabric to design the Parchment collection. Inspired by bound manuscripts, the charm of this armchair is in every crease and fold of inter-layered acrylic fabric, bound by a fabric-wrapped rope, lined with urethane foam, and mounted on a maple and steel base. The beauty of aged paper—a visual wanderlust that inspired the creation of the Parchment collection.
