The K-pop superstars channeled their inner angels and Thumbelina in full bloom while posing for Internationally-acclaimed Filipino furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue’s bloom chair.
Designed in 2009, the handmade “Bloom” chair has microfiber stitched over a fiberglass-reinforced top. The chair’s petal-like feature unravels from its steel revolving base.
The Cebu-based designer was named by Time Magazine as rattan’s ‘first great virtuoso’ for using the material in his unique designs.
Cobonpue is known globally for his structural and often metaphorical luxury furniture, which often integrates native materials such as rattan, abaca, and bamboo that he molds into sculptural shapes using handmade techniques.
Among his famous clients are Queen Sofia of Spain, Queen Rania of Jordan, and former Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
And we all know that BLACKPINK IS BLACKPINK. World domination girls.
The partnership just makes sense—considering that Filipinos are one of the biggest K-pop fans in the world. BLACKPINK had been the first Korean group to sit atop charts like Billboard’s 100 and Britain’s Official Albums Chart Top 100. The group will be returning to Manila in March 2023 for the Born Pink World Tour, as well.
