Synthetic rattan

Materials- What is rattan? Rattan - the name for the roughly 600 species of palms trees

superficially similar to bamboo-but stems are more solid than bamboo Have been known to grow up to hundreds of metres long.

Rattan is much easier to harvest, requires simpler tools and is much easier to transport.

It provides a profitable crop that depends on rather than replaces trees

Processed into several products to be used as materials in furniture and basket making

good material-  lightweight, durable, suitable for outdoor use, and—to a certain extent—flexible

Other uses -shelter material,  artificial bone(early 2010)

Demerits of rattan furniture : • Expensive as handmade and from the plants

• In changeable climate, material soon looses shape and becomes brittle.

Material- synthetic rattan  Becoming increasingly popular as a stylish low-maintenance 

Commonly referred to as plastic rattan Isn’t made of PVC material that isn’t safe for health, but high-grade HDPE.

 Major advantage of  synthetic rattan furniture - stands up to years of different kind of climate, wash or wipe dirt with water.

For construction frame- a frame of aluminum -has a lot of advantages when compared with ordinary wood, doesn’t rust, making it safe and

convenient for health Other materials such as iron, steel, or wood can also be used

The synthetic rattan furniture combined with the foam and fabric, waterproof cover( waterproof cushions)

High aesthetic value and very exotic and artistic.
