For centuries Rattan has been an important product in Vietnam and still today, people are using wicker products for fishing, planting, harvesting and for the construction of their homes and furniture. Rattan is a member of the palm tree family. It grows in long slender stems, climbs on trees in the rainforests. It can grow in is length over 200 meters to reach the light above the forest canopy. The harvesting can be very challenging due to the landscapes and the inaccessibility in the jungle. There is no particular harvesting season for rattan and it grows year round.
The bark or the skin of the rattan is extremely hard and durable, while the inside of the rattan is softer and porous. Before you can start with the process of weaving the rattan, you need to take off the skin from the rattan and to separate it from the inside. The skin is used as a thread for weaving the product. Because of its strength and flexibility, there are almost no limits to its design and shape. With its little maintenance, Rattan is suitable for usage in the kitchen, the bathroom, for your living room and even for outdoor.
