True to its namesake (papillon being French for butterfly), the Papillon Easy Armchair by Kenneth Cobonpue captures the delicate, fleeting grace of a butterfly in mid-flight. This stunning piece of luxury furniture turns the traditional armchair into an airy, transparent sanctuary that filters light beautifully while framing anyone who sits in it. Constructed using fine, vertically pulled strands wrapped over a minimalist geometric frame, the Papillon Easy Armchair’s backrest splits into two dramatic, sweeping arches that mimic gossamer wings. It is an extraordinary testament to Cobonpue’s ability to take lightweight industrial materials and spin them into poetic, organic forms. The dual high-arched backrest creates a stunning visual framing effect, offering a sense of privacy and enclosure without blocking light or sightlines. Hand-tensioned, vertical thread-work gives the armchair a weightless, semi-transparent quality that keeps even large rooms feeling open and spacious. Often paired with minimalist, brightly colored seat and headrest cushions that pop dramatically against the neutral frame. A perfect fit for sunrooms, double-height living areas, and high-end boutique lounges looking for a touch of soft, modern maximalism.

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 KENNETHCOBONPUE 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.
