Brad Pitt, who loves green design, looked at his furniture and immediately bought his Voyage rattan bed to sleep for the children. After the report appeared in "Time" magazine, this low-key designer became popular overnight, especially Asian media rushed to interview him. Big Brother appreciates his work so much, but he has never had a relationship with him. However, he did n’t feel any pity. He just said lightly: “My furniture has indeed been exposed to Hollywood starlight and sales have increased significantly, but in the United States, it does n’t seem to matter which celebrity bought your stuff. It ’s Asia, South America and People in Eastern Europe are more crazy about celebrities, as long as they have been exposed to the stars, they will arouse their interest. "
The most poetic spokesperson
As a modern furniture designer, Cobonpue, 41, is also the most poetic spokesperson of traditional materials in Southeast Asia. His furniture is heavily made of rattan, bamboo, Buri palm fiber and abaca abaca. His furniture is atmospheric and modern, dancing with passionate and dynamic expressionist lines, but also because of the traditional materials he uses, it is unique in the lightness and perspective that Western furniture does not.
Cobonpue graduated from the famous Pratt School of Design in New York, but he never forgot the rattan in his hometown of Cebu, Philippines. He said: "My mother is also engaged in the traditional furniture industry, so I grew up with rattan from an early age. Although I use rattan, I use international and modern design language to interpret this traditional material."
In the traditional furniture industry and handicraft industry, most of the rattan is thinned, but he maintains the original thickness of the rattan and uses it in large pieces. He said: "Most Western designers use computer to draw out the blueprint of furniture first. But we skip this step and directly work on the materials to study what shape can be created. I like this kind of creation and the furniture produced Also more personal. "
Rattan is light and translucent
Vine is a wild plant in the forest. It is found everywhere in Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia and the Philippines. Cobonpue is known as a "green designer" because of the use of traditional materials. He said that rattan does have many environmental benefits: "Rattan furniture is completely handmade. After heating it with steam and softening it, it can fold into a kaleidoscopic shape. Because of this, we can minimize the use of the machine. It can also reduce the use of power. "In addition, he also uses a large number of abaca and palm fiber to bind the" joint "parts and fix the structure of the furniture.
His factory in the Philippines currently employs 500 employees, 90% of whom are master Fujio, revitalizing and retaining this traditional industry so that it will not be lost. The company's turnover is approximately US $ 6-7 million per year.
In addition to the concept of environmental protection, the natural scenery of tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia is also a source of inspiration for his work. The author commented that although his furniture has a thick appearance, it is full of perspective beauty, very bright and light. He seemed to meet a confidant, with a bright smile and said: "I mean that. You are talking about the common scenery of nature. What I want to capture and express is the light sense of the light source passing through the trees and the foliage of the plants."
Now even international design stars such as Marcel Wanders, Ross Lovegrove, etc. have begun to use natural fibers and materials. Cobonpue said: "The latest international furniture design trend is to use both natural and artificial materials. Steel and plastic are used to strengthen natural fibers and materials Partly to make up for its deficiencies. "
