Rattan chairs - what are they made of?
Rattan chairs, as the name suggests, are made of rattan. The term rattan comes from the Malay word "rotan". In English we use the words "rattan" and "wicker". Wicker is a woven material that uses the core of the rattan vine.
Rattan is a very lightweight raw material. Despite its light weight it is every bit as durable, solid and resilient as wood. The advantage of rattan chairs over wooden chairs is that rattan chairs do not creak as wooden chairs can do.
Rattan chairs are made of woven rattan, and it is also possible to get rattan armchairs and sofas. The base of the chair is made out of the core of the rattan vine, while the seat is made of 5 metre- long strips taken from the outside of the vine. The trick is to make the rigid material pliable through the application of moisture or steam. This makes it sufficiently elastic to weave to produce rattan chairs.
Why rattan chairs?
The special flair created by rattan furniture is a unique blend of natural materials and timeless, exotic style, giving your rooms a personal touch. Rattan chairs are contemporary items of furniture, whose artistic woven structure sets them apart from other furniture. In the manufacture of rattan chairs the rattan is softened by steam, which makes it easy to weave. This also makes it possible to use rattan to create a wide variety of unusual rattan chairs and other furniture.
Lightweight rattan chairs make a stylish contribution to your dining area, and help your tables to appear solid and strong, but not heavy. The exotic atmosphere created by rattan chairs is particularly suitable for winter gardens, balconies and patios. Rattan chairs are only suitable for outdoor use if they are treated appropriately to allow them to withstand the weather. With a little care and attention the comfortable yet bohemian magic of rattan chairs can happily grace your patio.
The correct care and storage of your rattan chairs
Rattan chairs are easy to look after as a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient for normal use. If you use your rattan chairs outside you should not leave them exposed to bad weather but bring them under cover. It is better to store unprotected rattan chairs inside through the winter months.
The team at GO IN would be happy to advise you on the purchase of your rattan chairs so that they are not left unprotected from the rain. A special material mix with nylon strips offers a truly wonderful combination in some rattan chairs. Try them out and get some ideas from our website.
Rattan chairs for restaurants and hotels
Rattan chairs are increasingly popular in today's hotel and restaurant trade. Technical advances and the mechanical manufacturing process have naturally contributed to this popularity. Where hand-made rattan chairs were far too expensive for use in hotels and restaurants, the mechanisation of the manufacturing process caused the price to drop and become affordable for restaurateurs in the larger quantities required. High quality designer rattan chairs are no longer a mere pipedream!
