How would you like to go to sleep in a comfy cocoon that allows you to sail the oceans in your dreams and get back home dry as you ride the waves all night? If you happen to both love green designs and are a big fan of sustainable green designs that add a lot to both your home and the planet, the Voyage Bed is truly the thing for you. This is all about adding a dash of excitement, a sense of elegance, a touch of poise and a tinge of green magic to create a visual treat that will go cool on your sense and on an ailing planet.
Award-winning Phillipine designer Kenneth Cobonpue is inspired by the richness of nature. He translates that inspiration into exquisite furniture designs using sustainable materials such as buri and abaca. The voyage bed is one such creation. Constructed with hand woven buri (palm leaf spines) or abaca placed over a steel frame and tied with abaca rope, the cocoon-like bed conjures up visions of lush, tropical destinations. The Voyage Collection also includes a coordinating nightstand.
While you will love the nativity and the brilliance of the design, it also exudes a very simple sense of style in a fashion that does not shout out loud but bowls you over with subtle beauty. (As nature always does) Infusing modern design with natural fibers has earned this designer recognition both in his homeland and abroad, including Asia’s highest award – the Design for Asia Award of Hong Kong. Obviously Kenneth Cobonpue needs no new accolades from me but I must still say that it is a job supremely well ‘woven’ together with fabrics of green sensibility and designing simplicity!
