Rattan is a truly special material: flexible yet strong, warm in appearance, and timeless in design. Working with it requires precision, patience, and a deep understanding of structure — qualities I’ve developed over a lifetime in the workshop. Every piece I create is handcrafted from start to finish, without shortcuts or mass production.
What I offer:
– Handwoven rattan chairs, armchairs, and rocking chairs
– Garden and balcony furniture sets
– Side tables, plant stands, and decorative items
– Repairs and reweaving of vintage rattan pieces
My process begins with careful selection of high-quality natural or synthetic rattan, depending on the use. I then design and construct each frame with stability and proportion in mind, before weaving the final form by hand — a meditative process that can take several days per piece. I aim for comfort, elegance, and long-lasting durability.
Clients often come to me looking for something unique — a chair that reminds them of their grandmother’s house, a cozy set for their conservatory, or a handcrafted piece that feels alive, not factory-made. I listen carefully to their ideas and create furniture that fits both their vision and their space.
Working with rattan is more than a craft for me — it’s a way to slow down, focus, and create something meaningful with my hands. If you value tradition, natural materials, and quiet beauty, I’d be happy to make a piece that becomes part of your home.
