Hadeda Rattan Sofa

The Hadeda collection is all hand made in Malawi, a tiny country with a big heart.

Bringing an elevated, artisanal touch to outdoor living spaces or the corner of a room, our Traditional 2 Seater is hand-woven by artisans in Malawi and has one-of-a-kind appeal. The open weave has a distinct criss-cross design at the bottom while the longer legs create an elegant feeling of space.

Rattan furniture is natural, sturdy and also steeped in tradition – the process of hand-weaving rattan furniture embodies a time-honoured tradition; its story spans continents, artists and craftsmen.

Rattan grows as a vine, with up to 600 species. Mature vines can stretch to hundreds of feet, growing a few centimetres in a day, far surpassing that of hardwood trees. It’s these long, continuous fibres that are used to create furniture. But rattan is more than just a vine - it's also a symphony of strength and suppleness, possessing an innate flexibility that allows for intricate woven designs. In addition, rattan’s tensile strength rivals that of steel, meaning that well-crafted rattan furniture will last for decades.

In a world rapidly (and rightfully) seeking more sustainable choices, rattan stands out as a beacon of hope. Not just an eco-friendly option, its beauty and durability make it an obvious choice for discerning interior enthusiasts.

We love rattan - as a natural fibre, its organic gradient of browns and yellows seamlessly blends with most decor palettes, making it a favourite amongst interior designers, and sitting perfectly with the emerging trend for browns and natural textures.

Rattan is one of those rare natural materials you can feel really good about. The harvest of rattan supports the livelihoods of millions of people living in several tropical nations.
