Decorate with rattan and other natural materials

    Decorating with natural and sustainable alternatives has long been popular and it is a trend that is here to stay. We are more aware than ever of what we bring into our homes and many want to decorate with sustainable materials that last for a long time. Be inspired by our lamps in natural materials and their different origins.

    Contributes with a cozy feeling

    Rattan and other natural materials contribute to a lovely and cozy feeling in your home and soften the impression in the room. It is easy to combine the materials with other interior styles, materials and colors and thus it is a grateful and sustainable alternative in your home. A lampshade in rattan contributes with beautiful play of light on your walls and furniture – which we think is incredibly homely and cozy.

    • The natural material Rattan

      The material Rattan comes from a palm tree that grows in the tropical parts of Africa, Asia and Australia and is made into furniture, lampshades, decorations and various types of building materials. The material grows in the same way as a vine and is an incredibly fast-growing and strong material. It wants protection from other trees in order to thrive as well as possible - which means that the trees are also protected from being cut down.

    • The natural material Raffia leaves

      Raffia is a type of palm tree with soft and durable leaves and is easy to braid together into different products such as baskets, carpets and lampshades.

    • The natural material Lampakanay

      Lampakanay (Typha Orientalis) is a renewable material that grows at low altitudes and wet shallow places in Mindanao in the southern Philippines. It is a durable material that is perfect for, among other things, braiding and is used for the manufacture of baskets, carpets, lampshades and bags. They are braided by hand by families who live on growing and harvesting the material.

    • Polyrattan

      Polyrattan is actually a collective name for materials that are similar to the natural basket material. Often made of synthetic fiber or in colored PVC and is therefore very durable and weather resistant. The big advantage of polyrattan is that it is very durable and easy to care for, just to wipe off with warm water.
