The La Luna Easy Armchair is the result of creative thinking in a refined manner. It re-imagines a traditionally rustic material to create a sophisticated piece of furniture. Although shaped like a classic bucket seat, it is a sleek interpretation of the otherwise rugged rattan vines and wood used to fashion it.
Created by Kenneth Cobonpue, an industrial designer based in Cebu, Philippines, the La Luna Easy Armchair is still heavily influenced by nature. In fact, the shape of the seat is modeled after the moon (la luna). Softly spherical and wonderfully woven, the chair has a strikingly simplistic aesthetic despite its texture. Great for both indoor and outdoor use, the La Luna Easy Armchair is available in two colors: ash and brown.
