VOYAGE BED by KENNETH COBONPUE
23 June 07
The Voyage bed is made of abaca or rattan woven on a steel frame and tied with nylon filament, creatinga cozy cocoon where dreams are revealed. Also available as outdoor version in polyethylene and steel - the ultimate outdoor day bed. The Voyage comes in three sizes: Queen, King Extra King. According to Inquirer.net, Brad Pitt sleeps on a Voyage bed. As many know, the Hollywood actor is deep into design and architecture which perhaps explains why he was drawn to Cobonpue’s designs.
Kenneth Cobonpue began studying Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in New York, 1987. While completing his degree, he apprenticed for a leather and wood workshop near Florence, Italy. In 1994, he studied Furniture Marketing and Production in Reutlingen, Germany. He returned home to the Philippines in 1996, to manage Interior Craft of The Islands Inc, a company founded in 1972 by his mother, Betty Cobonpue, a designer famous for creating new techniques in rattan. Discovering that modern design could have a new face using natural fibres and materials, he slowly created the pieces which form the heart of his collection today. Integrating locally sourced organic materials with innovative handmade production techniques offeredan alternative to the Western Definition of modern design. 'From the start, I was seeking a fresh sensibility to embrace and develop with regard to design. I didn't find it in Milan. Nor in New York. I found it closer to home in the tropical island of Cebu.' Today, Kenneth Cobonpue designs offer the perfect foil to the sleek, hard surfaces of contemporary interior spaces.
