MATERIALS

Rattan is a natural fiber from the palm tree family. Rattan products are lightweight, durable, and most important eco-friendly. It is also a very flexible material that can be woven into a lot of different shapes and forms. Indonesians have a lifelong tradition and experience in processing and weaving beautiful rattan products.

Seagrass lives in the coastal waters in most of the continents. Seagrass is unique because it is the only flowering plant that can live underwater. Dried seagrass makes beautiful furniture. Seagrass furniture is woven by hand, while the plants are still green. Because the seagrass dries, the furniture will lose the green color, become firm and ready to use.

MAINTENANCE

Rattan. Rattan requires minimal cleaning and almost no maintenance. You should often dust or vacuum the furniture or products because there are lots of nooks and crannies. You can also use warm water and dishwashing detergent to clean the surface. We also recommend using the furniture covered outdoor or when you use it outside, cover it up. The sun could fade the color.

Seagrass. The smooth and shiny exterior makes it very easy to maintain. Use a soft cloth along the rows of the grass to get rid of dust or dirt. Steam the seagrass to straighten if you please. We recommend keeping your seagrass furniture indoors. If you take it outside, protect it from rain and rough weather. If exposed to rain, there is a possibility of rotting since it’s a natural material. Also, direct exposure to sunlight will fade the color of the seagrass.
