Butaca Dragnet de Kenneth Cobonpue

Un tejido de algodón (para uso en el interior) o de tejido en acrílico (para uso en el exterior) está trenzado y envuelto en un marco de acero “powdercoated “. Las patas son de acero inoxidable.
Me inspire en una técnica de tejido tradicional filipina. Usando materiales nuevos, desarrollé una técnica que envuelve el tejido en una serie de nudos a un marco de acero. El nombre evoca la belleza y los colores de los peces en las redes de pescadores, saliendo y arrastrándose en el mar. Mi esperanza es que “Dragnet” capture la belleza de la gente de esta manera”. El modelo para uso interior incluye un cojín y una almohada grande en tejido “Picasso” color natural. El modelo para uso exterior viene con un cojín y en tejido “Sunbrella Canvas”. Dimensiones de la butaca: 85cm de profundidad, 108cm de ancho y 155cm de altura y del banquillo: 87x69x40cm. Ver elvídeo.
