Care Instructions - Rattan

Rattan is a natural and flexible material. The rattan on your furniture consists of woven strands made from certain palm species, offering a beautiful and eco-friendly material that reflects design and craftsmanship. The weaving adds transparency, giving both physical and visual lightness. Rattan provides excellent comfort to your furniture, evenly supporting and adapting to your body. However, it’s important to note that rattan is made from a living material with long fibers, which may occasionally need trimming to prevent them from catching on clothing when the chair is used.

Tips for Keeping Rattan Fresh:

• Rattan is very strong but dries out over time, becoming more brittle and hard. This means it can crack under heavy load, so it should be regularly moistened. We recommend moistening rattan furniture about once a month to maintain its flexibility and resilience.
• Avoid applying localized pressure to rattan furniture, such as standing on it with knees or feet.
• Use a solution of about 3 tablespoons of soap flakes dissolved in a liter of lukewarm water, and spray it on the back of the rattan. Allow the solution to penetrate thoroughly.
• Avoid soaking other parts of the furniture. Wipe away any excess water from the front of the chair with a clean, damp cloth, but let the foam remain on the back for a while so it can penetrate the rattan, softening and conditioning it.
