Premium Rattan Direct From Indonesia

I am a craftsman from Java, and for generations, my family has been handcrafting rattan patio sets by hand. Today, I send our work across the world, and one of my proudest partnerships is with Smithers of Shoreditch.

### The Advantages of Indonesian Rattan

One benefit is its easy-to-move nature. Our chairs and sofas are perfect for people who like to switch up their rooms. Compared to heavy wood or metal, rattan can be shifted with ease—especially useful in London homes where space is tight.

Another benefit is the visual appeal. Rattan furniture has a organic beauty that fits into many styles—from boho to urban chic. The woven texture creates depth and character to every room. With premium rattan furniture, the finishes make it feel upscale.

Durability is also key. When we craft premium rattan, we treat the material carefully, so with the right care it will stay strong for years. All-weather rattan, which we also produce, is resistant fading and water damage, making it suitable for year-round use in the UK climate.

### The Challenges

On the downside, natural rattan is less resistant to rain and may weaken outdoors. In London’s humid seasons, we advise owners to store their pieces when not in use.

Maintenance is another limitation. Dust can build up in the weave, so regular cleaning is important. It is not hard, but sometimes tedious, especially with intricate patterns.

Comfort also depends on cushions. Without thick padding, rattan furniture can feel less comfortable for long sitting. Investing in quality cushions is recommended.

Finally, the price. While simple rattan sets can be affordable, luxury rattan furniture reviews rattan from Indonesia—like the pieces we send to Smithers in London—carries a higher cost. But that price reflects craftsmanship passed down for generations.

### In Summary

As a maker, I believe rattan furniture offers a stylish and lightweight option for outdoor living. It has visual appeal and can stay strong for chloe luxury rattan garden furniture years.
