In the wild, exotic birds are often tenacious, fleeting, and highly elusive. In your home, however, the Kala Vase by Kenneth Cobonpue captures that exact same avian grace, keeping it comfortably perched right on your tabletop. Part sculpture, part functional vessel, Kala is a whimsical yet sophisticated tribute to the animal kingdom, rendering a bird’s elegant stride and plumage in a minimalist, modern silhouette. Cobonpue’s signature organic modernism shines through the playful anatomy of the Kala Vase : The smooth, rounded "torso" of the bird is crafted from a durable, fiber-reinforced polymer that mimics the organic texture of river stones or smooth eggs. Slender, stylized legs forged from powder-coated steel provide a striking contrast to the organic body, giving the vase a light, perched quality that seems to defy gravity. The opening at the top of the polymer body serves as the vase's vessel. When you insert long-stemmed flowers, dried wheat, or overflowing succulents, your botanicals become the bird's vibrant tail feathers and plumage.

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.
