After seeing and instantly falling in love with this chair from The Citizenry, I’ve been fixating on modern-style rattan chairs.
I’ve never been a big fan of rattan. Historically I’ve associated it with the kind of wicker furniture you might associate with your grandparents’ patio.
Fun fact — it turns out wicker is a furniture-making technique, and wicker furniture can be made out of many different materials. Rattan, on the other hand, is a material — a vine, to be precise, closely related to the palm tree. Rattan is actually one of the strongest woods.
I’m happy to see rattan enjoying a comeback. Check out these photos for some examples of rattan done right — and inspiration for your very own rattan furniture that will fit in with your completely stylish modern bohemian home (right guys??):
What do you think? Are you ready to welcome rattan into your home?
I like rattan chairs as well. They are always elegant, always in, yet can bring a whimsical vibe. You picked some awesome pieces. Pinned this post.
Thanks dagmara! I agree on the whimsical vibe. They are all unique pieces!
I would love that swing in my house. That blue chair is cute too. At my parents house we used have a papasan chair that was made of wood but had a cushion in it.
A papasan chair with a cushion sounds so comfy! I love that blue one too — I’d be tempted to order it but I have three boys, and I feel like it would be more at home in a girls’ room maybe…
These are so cool! These aren’t your grandma’s rattan chairs 😉 haha!
Thanks @thesaltymamas!
Nice post! I would love a couple of the hanging rattan chairs for a little reading nook.
Same here Rebecca!
These chairs are so cool! I especially love the swing <3 I don't know how kid friendly they would be but I would love to hang a couple somewhere in my home.
You’re so right Brittany, and my husband is trying to talk me out of putting a hanging chair in our home because he thinks the kids will go crazy with it. And honestly, he’s probably right. 😉
