Rattan is a type of climbing palm, which grows like vines through tropical and subtropical rainforests. Such a natural and traditional resource has risen in popularity recently, and is now used extensively in furniture making. The lengths of the vines are harvested, dried and then made into fine stocks. With natural rattan being one of the strongest woods available and also offering great versatility, such durability makes it popular for both carpenters and customers.

Rattan is light and warm-looking making it a favourite for the patio on sunny days.  If you want some garden furniture which would reflect the natural personality of your garden, rattan is certainly the way forward! As it’s very versatile, it works well in all weathers and in many different outdoor environments. It can bear extreme temperatures and moisture, maintaining its colour and consistency regardless of the season. It doesn’t chip or crack easily too, which makes it a great choice for the garden, especially for a bench or table.

Rattan comes in many different textures, colours and designs. The highly recommended Loretto Collection is a beautiful all-weather outdoor range of furniture, featuring Viro synthetic rattan. Furthermore, this superb collection is made from polyethylene, making it completely recyclable and non-toxic. Treat yourself this summer with some rattan garden furniture – not only does it look great but it will last for year after year, making it one of the most cost-efficient types of furniture on the market!
