When to Use RATTAN FURNITURE INSIDE

Rattan furniture is known for its versatility and weatherproof nature which makes it ideal for outdoor use all year round. But rattan garden furniture also makes the perfect addition to any indoor space. Here, we have outlined the benefits of using your rattan furniture indoors.

EISHO are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

Rattan garden furniture is ideal for indoor use for many reasons, particularly its lightweight nature. Rattan garden furniture is incredibly lightweight thanks to the framework. These frames ensure the furniture is easy to move around, meaning that if you wish to move your furniture from outdoors to inside then it requires minimal effort to do so.

Many people choose to use their rattan garden furniture in their conservatories. This is because the natural look of rattan perfectly complements a conservatory space. Additionally, as conservatories can reach extremely high temperatures in the summer and freezing temperatures in the winter, many furniture types can suffer in these extremes, but rattan furniture is designed to handle these temperature changes. Our rattan furniture is tested to withstand temperatures.

Not only is rattan furniture incredibly stylish, complementing a conservatory space well, but it is also incredibly comfortable. Rattan furniture often comes with thick padded cushions which make it easy to sink into the furniture and truly relax. Not only this but with many styles of cushion available it is easy to change the look of rattan furniture to help it suit your inside space.

Rattan furniture is not only weather resistant but is also incredibly stain resistant. Unlike a fabric sofa, if you spill something on your rattan you won&#;t have to panic about non-removable stains. Rattan offers a simple wipe-clean solution, ideal for families with young children or pets.

Matching your inside furniture to your outdoor furniture helps your house to spill out into your garden, creating the illusion of extra space. This is also ideal for those with limited garden space who would prefer to move their indoor furniture outdoors on the rare occasions that they use their garden. This is because rattan furniture is incredibly weatherproof, therefore if you move the furniture outdoors and it does rain, it will not prevent you from moving the furniture back indoors when the time comes.

Rattan furniture is incredibly durable and long-lasting. It will not need replacing regularly, whether you use the furniture daily indoors or seasonally in the garden. If you&#;re looking for rattan furniture that can be used both indoors and out, then do not hesitate to contact us or visit one of our showrooms to test the furniture for yourself.

Is rattan the same as wicker? Not exactly, though the two sometimes get confused. Wicker actually refers to the method of weaving reeds together, rather than to the material itself. Today, most wicker furniture is woven using rattan, though some wicker makers prefer to use raffia, bamboo, or willow reeds.

Another close relative, cane, is actually made from the same plant as rattan. The furniture-making material we call rattan, however, comes from the inner reeds of the vine, while cane is made using the outer bark.

A brief history of rattan furniture and decor

Many species of rattan require exposure to biodiversity in order to flourish. In other words, they don&#;t thrive in a monoculture; they crave the dissimilar&#;which may be the reason Calamoideae has enjoyed such success living alongside people since ancient times. The large subfamily of palms currently includes over 600 individual plant species&#;all of which are found in the Afro-Eurasian tropics. That means habitat encroachment and climate change pose serious threats to the material&#;s existence. That being said, rattans are also brilliant adapters we could learn from&#;especially when it comes to thriving in dissonance.

Following centuries of extensive use in tropical and subtropical Asia, species of rattan were first brought to the British Empire in the early 19th century by army and navy families returning from being stationed in the Pacific during World War II. Despite the cooler European climates, the rattan mementos they brought home held up nicely. As bamboo furniture and similar options gained popularity in Western decor, rattan became a staple for patios and decks, and eventually many of its admirers brought their rattan table-and-chairs sets indoors.

By the next century, the material had reached the Americas: US homeowners jumped on the bandwagon and began importing rattan furniture from the Philippines via steamships. Despite the equatorial origins, rattan pieces from this time period (s, &#;30s, and &#;40s) tend to display Victorian tastes, as that was the popular preference at the time. But soon, rattan tables and chairs began showing up in Hollywood movies and TV sets, conjuring a vibe of laid-back, exotic-island luxury that led to a huge uptick in the material&#;s popularity and a new interior decor style (sometimes called Tropical Deco or Hawaiiana).

&#;I can&#;t recall my first encounter with a piece of rattan furniture, but to me it has always been incorporated into design as a form of relaxation and escapism,&#; says Jamie Bayer, a Nashville-based vintage collector and seller at Dashwood Vintage (who uses the handle @possumshouseofrattan on Instagram). &#;During the late s and early s, bamboo furniture (which most people called rattan, whether made from bamboo or not) was popularized as a response to World War II ending,&#; she says. Rattan became an aspirational symbol, as &#;America looked towards Polynesian culture to inspire an easy, breezy way of life&#;thus starting the ongoing American obsession with tiki culture.&#;

By the &#;40s and &#;50s, California furniture designers like Calif-Asia, Paul Frankl, Herbert Ritz, and Don Loper began developing new methods and silhouettes for rattan furniture. (Frankl&#;s iconic Pretzel Arm chair is one notable example.) Some even began experimenting with different colored alternatives to bury for wrapping the rattan poles. Unfortunately some of these changes may have contributed to the downfall of rattan&#;s popularity, as these newer, more modern rattan pieces were seen by some as inferior to the earlier styles.

According to Bayer, rattan became associated with bohemianism in the &#;60s and &#;70s, which she considers more closely aligned with the aesthetics of the current rattan resurgence. Big names in rattan in the &#;70s and &#;80s included architect and furniture maker Henro Olko&#;who created beautiful, sought-after tables, sofa frames, and chairs using pliable bamboo, willow, rattan, and leather-wraps&#;and Milanese designer Gabriella Crespi, whose cult-following recently rejoiced when the designer&#;s daughter put her rattan-and-bamboo-heavy Bohemian 72 Collection (previously only available to private clients) into production for the first time. Intricate rattan club chairs from Olko&#;s Tiara Collection still go for soaring prices on the vintage market.
