Exclusive sofa for two people - prestige for the living room or garden by Kenneth Cobonpue

Stunning designs and durable handcrafted craftsmanship.

Kenneth Cobonpue is a multiple award-winning designer and manufacturer of luxury 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 wood workshops near Florence in 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 project 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 the Western definition of modern design. Today, the KENNETH COBONPUE brand is known worldwide for its captivating designs and a rich client list, including Hollywood stars and members of royal families.
