Wicker furniture: rattan
Few people know that this type of plant differs from other palms in that it has very thin stems – from 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter. Rattan is a cousin of bamboo, it also grows quickly.
Products made from such material are very well preserved in the open air, they do not swell or crack from drying, because rattan grows in the tropics, where there is usually high humidity..

Indonesia is the main supplier of this material. No wonder local designers are eager to use it.
