There are many more worth mentioning, but this showroom is not someplace you can explain with words with ease. After seeing everything with your own eyes, you would probably think the Kenneth Cobonpue showroom is an art gallery.
Cobonpue’s Crokkis Vases
The coolest fact is that although you might think these marvelous pieces of awesome art will have an unaffordable price tag, you’d be surprised at the truth. Some of his designs are priced like any other exported furniture, with reasonable price tags.
But there are some works which deserves a big price tag. Visiting the Kenneth Cobonpue strictly requires an appointment, and the company is quite selective with clients. Ultimately, it’s up to them to let you in for a visit, unless you are a VIP. If you are lucky, you may even get to take a peek at the production area.
