Why Choose Indonesian Rattan
I am a craftsman from Java, and luxury rattan garden furniture per week my family has woven high-end rattan furniture for generations. Today, our work reaches London through Smithers of Shoreditch, and I am proud to see Indonesian craft in British homes.
Premium rattan has kept its appeal in the U.S. for years, offering a blend of design and comfort. If used in indoor spaces or outdoor settings, it adds warmth and relaxed charm.
### The Good Side
One advantage of rattan furniture is its lightweight nature. You can shift it without trouble—important for London flats.
Another strength is aesthetic appeal. With its natural woven texture, rattan furniture fits with styles from boho to urban. For high-end tectake luxury rattan aluminium garden furniture, the details feel exclusive.
Durability matters too. Synthetic rattan is resistant to fading and water, making it right for year-round use in London’s climate.
### The Challenges
On the flip side, natural rattan is not very resistant to moisture. Owners should cover it in wet weather. Maintenance is also needed—dust collects in the weave and requires regular cleaning. Comfort depends on thick cushions too.
### Final Word
Through Smithers, my premium rattan now finds homes in London. It is versatile, lightweight, and full of Indonesian heritage—worth the care it asks for.
