Handmade Rattan Patio Sets
I am an artisan from Indonesia, and my family has woven rattan patio sets for many years. Today, our work reaches London through Smithers of Shoreditch, and I am proud to see Indonesian craft in British homes.
Premium rattan has kept its appeal in the U.S. for decades, offering a blend of style and practical use. If used in indoor spaces or outdoor settings, it adds warmth and luxury rattan conservatory furniture inviting charm.
### The Good Side
One benefit of rattan patio sets is its lightweight nature. You can move it without trouble—important for London flats.
Another strength is visual appeal. With its organic woven texture, luxury outdoor rattan furniture rattan pairs with styles from boho to modern. For high-end rattan, the details feel exclusive.
Durability matters too. All-weather rattan is resistant to fading and water, making it right for year-round use in London’s climate.
### The Challenges
On the flip side, natural rattan is less resistant to moisture. Owners should store it in damp weather. Maintenance is also needed—dust collects in the weave and requires routine cleaning. Comfort depends on thick cushions too.
### Final Word
Through Smithers, my premium rattan now finds homes in London. It is stylish, practical, and full of Indonesian heritage—worth the care it asks for.
