Manufacturing of rattan furniture Rattan is solid, in opposition to hollow bamboo, and is therefore bendable. When steamed for 10-15 minutes, rattan can be formed by hand using old traditional manufacturing techniques and a few simple tools.

Our most detailed furniture, such as the Rossini chair and Carlo bar trolley, are so advanced that only a limited number of our craftsmen are able to make these. Other pieces require great patience like our Hanging Egg chair, which takes one person, one week...
