What is Rattan?
Rattan is a lightweight and flexible long-stemmed vine that is mostly found in South-east Asia. Rattan can grow up to hundreds of meters long, making it an abundant, sustainable resource. It is extremely flexible, durable and eco-friendly.

Is Rattan sustainable & eco-friendly?
YES. Rattan can grow up to 2cm per day, that’s up to 3 meters in only 6 months and harvested within two years, compared to some hardwoods that can take 20-30 years to grow.
The use of Rattan in furniture helps to preserve forests by reducing the need to source wood from trees and preventing deforestation. The harvesting and crafting process is all done by hand and does not require any machinery, which means providing more jobs for inhabitants of the area to help boost and maintain a sustainable economy.

Why does the colour vary between pieces?
The natural fibres of rattan have their own unique tones, making each piece of furniture never the same.
