Designer Kenneth Cobonpue has a new furniture line called the Rapunzel Chair and Pouf Collection, which draws inspiration from one of the most popular fairy tales of all time.
Cobonpue's Rapunzel Chair and Pouf Collection is essentially comprised of an armchair and a footrest to complement the piece. The pieces are constructed by a durable steel frame, which is then covered by a thick hand-coiled upholstered foam. So how does this line reflect Rapunzel? The exterior has a tight, braided look which is definitely a nod to the protagonist's freakishly long hair in the fairy tale. One could even argue that the rounded, closed look is a tribute to the tower that Rapunzel gets trapped in for most of her life.
The Rapunzel Chair and Pouf Collection is available in silver, pale gray and sand finishes.
