Designed as an homage to the warm, comforting embrace of a favorite winter sweater, the Knit Side Chair by Kenneth Cobonpue effortlessly blends minimalist Scandinavian needlework with tactile organic construction. It is a stunning, cozy design statement that brings luxurious texture and sculptural form into any dining room or high-end living space. The signature characteristic of the Knit Side Chair is its uniquely tactile backrest. Reminiscent of a chunky knitted cardigan, it features plush, soft velvet tubes filled with polyester fibers. These padded tubes are meticulously hand-woven around a sturdy aluminum and rattan frame, striking a perfect balance between flexible comfort and structural support. The weave creates an open, grid-like backrest that lets air and light pass through, preventing the chair from feeling bulky in a dining setting. The frame rests gracefully on finely crafted maple wood legs, offering a clean, organic foundation that highlights the soft contours of the seating above.

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.
