All about Rattan – Natural Material

Many of us have heard the word “rattan” without fully understanding what it means. Rattan is a material. Specifically, it’s a long-stemmed vine that looks a little like bamboo. Because rattan is often used in wicker furniture, we tend to confuse the two terms. But they’re not actually interchangeable.

Rattan can also be steamed, bent, and shaped. This technique produces more weave rattan products — and it can produce some seriously pretty tables, benches, and chairs.

In addition to looking nice, rattan furniture and accessories can be just the thing if you’re looking for décor that can withstand the test of time.
