The Little People Boom Town Floor Lamp by world-renowned designer Kenneth Cobonpue is a signature masterpiece blending organic form, sculptural art, and avant-garde lighting. The defining feature of the Little People Boom Town Floor Lamp collection is its intricate base, constructed from an array of miniature, hand-soldered human figures climbing or holding onto each other to form a unified, towering structure. The Extra Large "Boom Town" version acts like a crane or a balance scale. The intricate mass of figures counterbalances a long, adjustable sweeping arm holding the lampshade. Typically crafted using a delicate but incredibly strong framework of salago fiber (a natural plant fiber native to the Philippines) applied over a hand-welded steel or wire chassis. When lit, it casts dramatic shadows across the room, functioning as a striking, museum-worthy art installation during the day and a warm, ambient light source at night.

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.
