Caring for your rattan

You have found your perfect rattan Raffles chair, now here is how caring for your rattan is easy and you can keep it looking its best and lasting well.

Finished rattan furniture is strong, durable and long-lasting. It requires minimal maintenance: just dust with a soft, clean cloth or the brush attachment of your vacuum.

The rattan is fumigated, which as well as giving it its honey hue, also means it is bug-repellent. If there are any spills, just take care of these straight away with a soft cloth and lukewarm, soapy water. Caring for your rattan has never been easier.

Rattan: a sustainable choice 

You are choosing a sustainable option, as rattan is a fast-growing plant that can be harvested year round. We have worked for years with the same workers and weavers. They handcraft our rattan pieces from our own designs. In doing so, we have built close relationships with our team of craftsmen, who combine sourcing the natural materials, along with using the traditional artisanal techniques passed from generation to generations in their villages. Each unique new design is inspired by old world charm.

From the forest to your front door 

You can see the incredible workmanship that goes into each piece with the intricate detailing. Using a sustainable natural material like rattan means each piece is one of a kind. Each has its own variations of honey hue and markings. These show the origins: visible marks of natural individuality and imperfections of the fibres where they have journeyed from the forest to your front door.
