Now Trending: Rattan

One interior design trend we can’t get enough of is rattan! Beautifully versatile, it’s a trend that never really left. Rattan furniture in forms we see and use today can be traced back to the 17th century, and the 60s and 70s saw its resurgence in popularity on account of the desire for more organic and natural home elements.

What is Rattan?

Native to Southeast Asia, rattan is a material derived from the rattan palm, as is cane. Cane is generally used for webbing and finishing touches, while rattan is much more sturdy and is used to create furniture frames. Both materials are lightweight, pliable and durable, making them perfect for making furniture and home accessories.
