The use of “ rattan ” is not new. It has been seen before, it has been used before, but now it is a trend. And what a trend...
But first you need to frame it.
It first appeared in 1970 and made its first appearance in wicker chairs and baskets, outdoor furniture, and many other places. The truth is that rattan was confined to balconies and outdoor spaces since it is a durable and weather-resistant material. But today, this outdoor trend has moved indoors, in much more elaborate, bold and authentic pieces of art and decoration.
Also known as manila, manau or malacca, this natural material and its technique add texture and richness to spaces and can suit many styles, whether rustic, glamorous or tropical. The best part is that there are people who still don't know how trendy rattan is, so you can find it in vintage stores or garage sales for a very low price.
For a few years, any furniture or object made of wicker, straw, rattan, bamboo or similar that crossed our path would immediately be labeled as something “from the beach house”. The truth is that these items, handcrafted using natural fibers, have risen from the ashes and are now a huge trend and worth a lot.
At VIVA, you can find these new, ready-to-wear pieces, with extreme quality, at a very attractive price.
Get inspired and learn how to incorporate this trend into your home decor. It will feel like you’re in Indonesia or Thailand.
