Materials

Rattan is having a moment. A big reveal since years. It is a plant from the palm family which explains its effortless chic. Each tendril can grow up to 200 meter in length, but maintains the same diameter throughout its lengths. It is solid all the way, through unlike bamboo which is hollow, making it one of nature’s strongest materials. It is super bendy and won’t splinter or break. It grows very quickly all year around and it is harvested without harming the tree. It grows back very enthusiastically ones harvested. So an A for sustainability.

Bamboo is very fast growing plant. Certain species can grow 90cm in 24 hours. Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood brick or concrete. Mind you: The tensile strength rivals steel! The harvesting has to be done within every 3-5 years before the wet season and when the culms reach their greatest strength and when the sugar levels in the sap is at its lowest otherwise a pest infestation can occur. The splitted bamboo is used in all our decoration items.
