The Balou Easy chair is the ultimate expression of relaxed, cocoon-like comfort from Kenneth Cobonpue. Designed to evoke the feeling of a welcoming nest, its expansive, rounded frame combines organic warmth with airy, modern transparency. The Balou is built around the idea of weightless geometry. The chair features a broad, enveloping shell that curves seamlessly from the deep backrest into supportive armrests, before tucking inward slightly at the base. Its defining feature is the intricate, hand-woven lattice structure. Individual strands are meticulously woven over a sturdy architectural frame, creating a rhythmic, intersecting pattern. This open-weave design allows light and air to pass right through the chair, keeping it visually lightweight despite its generous footprint. Whether styled inside or out, the Balou Easy Chair offers an inviting place to sink back and lounge.

General Information
After spending years abroad, Kenneth Cobonpue returned to Cebu, Philippines, in 1996 to take over his mother Betty's furniture design and manufacturing company. Betty, who is a designer and a Pratt graduate, founded the company. Kenneth realized that modern design could be reinvented using natural fibers and materials. He began creating the pieces that now make up the collection by blending locally sourced organic materials with innovative handmade production techniques. This offered an alternative to the Western definition of modern design. He pays tribute to the talent of craftsmen, which forms the basis of the designs produced by KENNETH COBONPUE today. The company produces high-end indoor and outdoor furniture and furnishings known for their artistic imprint and unique visual impact. All creations skillfully integrate nature, traditional craftsmanship, and innovative technologies.
