Synthetic Rattan Weave

Rattan outdoor furniture is one of the oldest outdoor furniture in China, and it became popular in the South China about 1000 years ago. Taking Foshan as an example, “Nanhai rattan weaving” has been included in the list of intangible cultural heritage in Guangdong, China.

There must be certain reasons why rattan weaving products can flourish in Guangdong. The temperature in Guangdong is generally high throughout the year. Enjoying the shade outdoors in the evening is a good way for leisure and entertainment. The cool and breathable characteristics of rattan chairs fully meet the needs of residents here. Coupled with the abundant rainfall in the south, vines are everywhere, making the materials convenient to obtain. That has created the “soil” that is suitable for the development of the simple rattan outdoor furniture. So this also means that the rattan weaving skills and aesthetics in Guangdong have experienced years of accumulation and development, and now they have reached the level of proficiency.
