Rattan revival: hotter than ever

There’s no denying that rattan currently is one of the hottest materials. Not only can you make absolutely beautiful pieces of furniture with it, it also fits with the trend for more durable and eco-friendly materials. 

Good for nature & local communities

Rattan is considered as being ecological and sustainable for a number of reasons such as its CO2 neutrality and recyclability. Discover more on our materials & care page.

On top of that, rattan is a lot easier to grow and harvest and some species can be cultivated on a smaller scale, allowing smallholders to earn some extra money.

Vincent Sheppard DNA

Rattan has been part of the Vincent Sheppard story from the very beginning. Durability, and natural and high-quality materials are part of the Vincent Sheppard DNA, within which rattan fits perfectly. We have launched multiple collections in which rattan plays the lead role and is used in a very strong and graphic way. Have a look at our rattan designs below!

Retro vibes in a modern jacket

Our Cruz collection combines romantic retro vibes with a modern combination of materials.

The shell-shaped seats of the Cruz remind us of rattan classics from the fifties, while the combination with the black metal frame and the fact that these models are also available in black, make it a very contemporary collection.

Warmth and a sense of nature

Our Vivi collection exudes warmth and calmness.

The pieces would look absolutely gorgeous in a boho chique or even coastal Ibiza home. They instantly bring warmth and softness into your interior thanks to the light rattan colour, while the design and texture of these pieces make them unique and intriguing.

Nature-inspired lighting

With Bulb, Endless and Firefly, we present you three gorgeous rattan pendant lights in different silhouettes and colors. These lamps are statement pieces which are a delight to the eye. Still, they bring a natural tone into your color palette which adds a soft touch as well. The mini versions of Bulb and Firefly are perfect for hanging above a breakfast bar!

Cosy hand-shaped rattan lamps

The Sari and Wadu collections radiate pure warmth and cosiness. The rattan structure is handcrafted to perfection by skilled craftsmen and submerge every room in a warm glow.

From retro to boho

The possibilities of rattan in terms of design are endless: from beautiful retro-inspired rattan chairs and side tables to accessories and lamps that wouldn’t look out of place in a ‘boho chic’ interior.

We tried to use rattan in all its aspects and wanted to create pieces with different looks whilst still providing that sense of warmth and nature.
