Rattan furniture, as the name suggests, is 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.
Despite its light weight, rattan is every bit as durable, solid and resilient as wood. Rattan furniture has one advantage over wooden furniture - it doesn't creak when used.
Rattan furniture is made of woven rattan, and is used for items such as chairs and armchairs. The base 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.

Rattan furniture brings an exotic atmosphere to the room. It is reminiscent of Oriental, colonial-style images from old black and white films. A certain element of exotic romance is still associated with rattan furniture and classic rattan style is back in demand. Meanwhile, modern rattan furniture design adds a very special touch to living rooms and dining areas. Rattan furniture, with its skilful weave, is made from the shoots of the rattan vine.

Rattan furniture is easy to look after as a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient for normal use. If you use your rattan furniture outside you should not leave it exposed to bad weather but bring it under cover. It is better to store unprotected rattan furniture inside through the winter months.

Rattan furniture is increasingly popular in today's hotel and restaurant trade. Previously, rattan furniture was far too expensive for use in hotels and restaurants because it was all laborously made by hand but the mechanisation of the manufacturing process caused the price to drop. It is now possible to consider it for use in restaurant areas. High quality designer rattan chairs are no longer a mere pipedream!
