Rattan is a remarkable natural material, harvested from fast-growing palm species native to tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australasia and can be harvested without destroying the plant—allowing for continuous regrowth from the same root system. This rapid renewability positions rattan as an exceptionally sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers looking to furnish their homes without contributing to deforestation or excessive carbon footprints.
Although simple in design, rattan pendant lights and pendants woven from renewable materials can make a big impact in a room and compliment rather than compete with your other interior design elements.
Not only are they easy to coordinate, they are relatively inexpensive, light weight, easy to install and made from natural and organic materials. What’s not to love?
