Is Rattan sustainable & eco-friendly?
YES. Rattan can grow up to 2cm per day, that’s up to 3 meters in only 6 months and harvested within two years, compared to some hardwoods that can take 20-30 years to grow.
The use of Rattan in furniture helps to preserve forests by reducing the need to source wood from trees and preventing deforestation. The harvesting and crafting process is all done by hand and does not require any machinery, which means providing more jobs for inhabitants of the area to help boost and maintain a sustainable economy.

| Why does the colour vary between pieces?
