Rattan evokes the glamour and exoticism of the Riviera, grand
yachts, and tropical verandas. It appeared in Impressionist
paintings, and dazzling celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Gina
Lollobrigida were photographed lounging on it. Now, rattan is
regaining its allure and becoming increasingly fashionable in
interior design and fashion spreads a reflection of beauty,
craftsmanship, and sustainability. Heywood-Wakefield furniture from
the nineteenth century is highly collectible, as are pieces created
by giants of modern design such as Josef Hoffmann for Thonet, Josef
Frank for Svenskt Tenn, Jean-Michel Frank for Ecart, Renzo
Mongiardino for Bonacina, and Arne Jacobsen for Sika. Paul Frankl
and Donald Deskey designed sleek Art Deco rattan furniture. Rattan
pieces have become iconic and highly prized, including Hiroomi
Tahara s Wrap Sofa, Franca Helg s Primavera Chair, and the many
iterations of the Peacock Chair. The glamour of rattan shines
through in seductive and beautiful interiors Madeleine Castaing s
house in Chartres, Michael Taylor s California beach houses, the
Titanic s Cafe Parisien. The book also showcases tastemakers who
have embraced rattan, from Marella Agnelli and Cecil Beaton to
design leaders of today, including Jeffrey Bilhuber, Veere Grenney,
Axel Vervoordt, and Bunny Williams.
