Invite nature into your home with rattan
Rattan is a living material with a will of its own. It has to be boiled and sun-dried before it can be tamed into different shapes that we can sit on, rest in, or decorate our homes with. That’s why we work together with experienced artisans that help to shape the rattan vines to functional products. The cooperation means you can have unique and handmade furniture in your own home – created by man and nature together.
What is rattan?
Rattan is a strong yet lightweight and flexible material made from the rattan plant’s stem. It can be used both whole and split into thinner materials that are braided into things like furniture and baskets. Rattan belongs to the palm family and climbs along trees, though no trees are required to be felled when the rattan cane is harvested. Since it is a natural material and the products are often handmade by skilled craftspeople, each object gets a completely unique look.
Designer Nike Karlsson
“My idea with the TOLKNING series was to create sustainable products made from natural fibers that could be used in different ways and in several places throughout the home. I started with my Scandinavian heritage and, in combination with the knowhow and professional skills of craftspeople, the unique products took shape – made by people and for people. I hope they will be useful, bring you joy and make you feel proud about making a conscious choice.”
