5 Reasons to Love: Rattan

Let us count the ways this material is a must-have for your home… From its versatility and durability to its eco-friendly origins, rattan adds style, texture and warmth in abundance. So, it’s lucky we have a whole host of pieces for you to choose from…

1. It’s natural


A climbing vine-like palm, rattan grows quickly and is usually harvested by hand for a consciously sourced approach. Regenerating every 5-7 years, it is renewable and can be grown in extremely short time frames with minimal impact on the environment.


2. It’s weatherproof


Easy to maintain and lightweight to move, rattan furniture is ideal for both indoors and out. It is resistant to the elements and able to avoid frost damage and moss growth.


3. It’s robust


Durable and sturdy, rattan is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms where homeware needs to withstand constant, everyday use. What’s more, it is also flexible and springy, which adds to its long-lasting quality.


4. It’s decorative


Dating back centuries, rattan has long been considered a stylish addition to homes. Bringing natural texture and warmth, it can be stained in a variety of hues and woven in a number of different ways for a unique finish.


5. It’s versatile


Truly timeless and wonderfully adaptable, there isn’t much that rattan doesn’t suit. Whether you live in the city or by the coast, have an apartment or a cottage, it simply goes with everything…
