A stunning sofa perfect for the terrace or garden from the LOLAH collection from Kenneth Cobonpue

Kenneth Cobonpue is a multiple award-winning designer and manufacturer of luxury furniture from Cebu, Philippines. His transition into design began in 1987, studying industrial design at Pratt Institute in New York. During his studies, he completed leather and wood workshops in Florence, Italy. He then studied furniture marketing and production at Export-Akademie Baden-Württemberg in Reutlingen, Germany. All of this was part of private and government scholarship programs. Kenneth returned home to Cebu in 1996 to manage the Interior Crafts of the Islands, Inc., a furniture and manufacturing company founded by his mother Betty Cobonpue in 1972.

Discovering that unconventional design can have a new face using natural fibers and materials, Kenneth created functional art pieces that offer an alternative to Western definitions of modern design. Today, the KENNETH COBONPUE brand is known worldwide for its designer projects and a rich clientele, including Hollywood stars and members of royal families.
