London Buyers Love Indonesian Rattan

I am an Indonesian rattan maker, and my family has crafted high-end rattan furniture for decades. Today, our work reaches London through Smithers of Shoreditch, and I am proud to see Indonesian craft in British homes.

Rattan furniture has kept its appeal in the UK and States for luxury black rattan garden furniture decades, offering a blend of design and practical use. If used in living room spaces or outdoor settings, it adds texture and relaxed charm.

### The Good Side

One benefit of rattan patio sets is its lightweight nature. You can move it without trouble—important for tight spaces.

Another strength is visual appeal. With its organic woven texture, rattan furniture fits with styles from coastal to modern. For premium rattan, the finishes feel exclusive.

Durability matters too. All-weather rattan is less prone to fading and water, making it right for seasonal use in London’s climate.

### The Challenges

On the downside, natural rattan is less resistant to rain. Owners should store it in damp weather. Maintenance is also needed—dust collects in the weave and requires routine cleaning. Comfort depends on good cushions too.

### Final Word

Through Smithers, my premium rattan buy now finds homes in London. It is stylish, practical, and full of Indonesian heritage—worth the care it asks for.
