Rattan is a natural material predominantly imported from South East Asia which has been used in folk art furniture in the United States since the early nineteenth century. Being a natural material it produces unique furniture articles which have a comfortable and warm appearance. This material has a growing importance to the furniture trade as more and more people are looking for environmentally friendly and sustainable materials for home furnishings and it fits the bill very well. Rainforests are protected from deforestation where it grows and the trees where this tree vine grows are preserved if rattan is harvested from them commercially. It can often be harvested in areas which would otherwise be commercially developed and therefore it is an excellent choice for those seeking an environmentally friendly manufacture material.
