Kenneth Cobonpue and Disney create Star Wars furniture collection
Filipino designer Kenneth Cobonpue has joined forces with the Star Wars franchise to interpret iconic characters from the cult series as a collection of armchairs, footstools and lamps.
Cobonpue took cues from Star Wars icons when designing the furniture collection, which includes an armchair stitched to look like Darth Vader's mask and a wooly stool designed to emulate Chewbacca's hair.

Created in collaboration with Disney, the pieces use modern materials and technologies to put a contemporary spin on Filipino craft techniques.
"We wanted to incorporate the essence of each Star Wars character into the designs, while staying true to our aesthetic and process of creating by hand," said Cobonpue. "We reimagined the Star Wars universe through the lens of the Filipino craftsman and creative," he added. "Finding the balance was a bit of a challenge, but it was also a lot of fun."

The collection was initially launched in southeast Asia before debuting in the US last month.
"This is a fun way for us to bring our stories closer to fans, allowing them to connect with Star Wars in a unique way and to take their favourite stories and characters home," said Veronica Cabalinan, the Philippines manager for Disney.
