Smithers London Rattan Furniture

I am an Indonesian rattan maker, and for generations, my family has been shaping high-end rattan furniture by hand. Today, I send our work across the world, and one of my proudest connections is with Smithers UK.

Premium rattan has stayed popular in the States and Europe for decades, offering a mix of design and functionality. Whether it is used in contemporary London flats or outdoor gardens, our handcrafted rattan brings warmth, texture, and a inviting charm.

### The Advantages of Indonesian Rattan

One benefit is its easy-to-move nature. Our chairs and chloe luxury rattan garden furniture sofas are suited for people who like to move their rooms. Compared to heavy wood or metal, luxury rattan garden furniture sale rattan can be shifted with ease—especially useful in London homes where space is tight.

Durability is also key. When we craft premium rattan, we prepare the material carefully, so with the right care it will last for years. Synthetic rattan, which we also produce, is tough against UV rays and water damage, making it suitable for seasonal use in the UK climate.

### The Challenges

On the downside, natural rattan is less resistant to rain and may weaken outdoors. In London’s damp seasons, we advise owners to cover their pieces when not in use.

Maintenance is another limitation. Dust can settle in the weave, so regular cleaning is important. It is not difficult, but sometimes tedious, especially with intricate patterns.

Comfort also depends on cushions. Without good padding, rattan patio furniture luxury rattan can feel firm for long sitting. Investing in well-made cushions is recommended.

Finally, the price. While simple rattan furniture can be budget-friendly, high-end rattan furniture from Indonesia—like the pieces we send to Smithers in London—carries a premium cost. But that price reflects heritage passed down for generations.

### In Summary

As a maker, I believe Indonesian rattan offers a stylish and practical option for outdoor living. It has visual appeal and can last for years. But it requires care. For London buyers, through Smithers, I am proud to bring a piece of Indonesian heritage into their homes.
