Exclusive furniture with stunning craftsmanship for the garden or living room. 

Kenneth Cobonpue is a multiple award-winning designer and manufacturer of captivating furniture from Cebu in the Philippines. His transition into design began in 1987, studying industrial design at Pratt Institute in New York. During his studies, he completed leather and woodworking 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-making and manufacturing company founded by his mother Betty Cobonpue in 1972. 

Discovering that modern 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, KENNETH COBONPUE has become internationally renowned for its designer projects and a rich client portfolio, including Hollywood stars and members of royal families.
