Restored Sculptural Split Reed Rattan Lounge Chair by Betty Cobonpue
About the Item
A gorgeous sculptural organic Post modern split reed rattan lounge chair with matching ottoman By Betty Cobonpue circa 1980 . This rare set includes the rounded "Scultura" looped form made famous by the designer.
Betty Cobonpue is a Philippines-based designer, who in the 1980s created a line of furniture called Scultura. Cobonpue has described her design sensibility with a simple mantra: “No hard edges.” In her work, lines flow smoothly through the entire piece. She often includes decorative embellishments such as leaf patterns and scalloped edges. Unlike contemporary furniture that is woven, Cobonpue’s furniture is made from thin pieces of rattan vine, meticulously cut, heated and wet-bent over wooden forms.
Chair measures: 23.5" W x 52" D x 33.5" H, Seat height: 18"
Ottoman measures: 23.5" W x 22.5" D x 18.5" H

We have in stock at this time a vast array of rattan from all of these designers, decorators, and architects; their sofas, chairs, and tables, just about all their designed products from the 40s through the 60s.
Custom cushions in C.O.M. (Customer's Own Material) are available, for a small fee. Simply supply the fabric and we will have the cushions made for you. If you need help sourcing fabric, we can help! Also small fee.
All rattan, bamboo, and wicker furniture has been painstakingly refurbished to the highest standards with the best materials.
