Why Rattan Is Different
Unlike wood, rattan is a vine. It grows up through the forest canopy without being cut at the roots. Harvesting rattan actively encourages new growth, making it one of the few furniture materials that genuinely benefits the ecosystem it comes from.
It is naturally lightweight, incredibly strong, and flexible enough to be shaped into intricate forms entirely by hand. The artisans who craft our rattan pieces train for years to master the bending, weaving, and finishing techniques that give each piece its character.
Rattan vs. Wicker: Rattan is the material, a natural vine. Wicker is the weaving technique. Many of our pieces use rattan woven in a wicker style, which is why the terms are often used interchangeably.
Care and Maintenance
Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent drying and cracking.
Wipe down with a slightly damp cloth for routine cleaning. Air dry completely.
For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soapy water and air dry fully.
Occasional linseed oil treatment maintains flexibility and natural luster.
