In recent years, the pace of innovation and upgrading in home design has been continuously accelerating. Led by modern furniture, new design concepts emerge in succession, giving consumers a feast for the eyes. However, as a niche product in furniture, rattan furniture seems to have remained stable for many years. The design sense that has been most criticized for many years has not been improved. The style design is basically stagnant, so that most consumers associate rattan art with the image of grandma's era as soon as they think of it. Even if there are occasional new designs, many products are obsessed with the high plasticity of rattan itself. The redundant and complex curved shapes make the beauty of rattan art rather 'chicken ribs'.

However, looking at the rattan art designs in the market today, it has to be said that rattan furniture has made a beautiful comeback: rattan art designers boldly draw inspiration from the minimalist design that has been very popular in recent years and have made great breakthroughs in shape. In terms of materials, combining with wood creates more artistic sparks and attracts a lot of attention. It can be seen that many rattan art designs no longer emphasize the plasticity of rattan. Through basic rattan weaving and simple but design-rich shapes, they are more in line with the popular needs of the moment.

In the past rattan furniture designs, original rattan design accounted for an absolute mainstream. In recent times, the design of combining rattan and wood has risen rapidly and received good reviews in the market. The design of combining rattan and wood has only become relatively popular in the past two years. Due to the limited thickness of rattan material and its relatively light weight, the furniture made of rattan has a sense of leisure but lacks a sense of stability. Many rattan and wood combined products on the market use wood as the base material for the seat surface and chair legs of rattan furniture, making the furniture thicker and more stable; or as a partial embellishment of the armrest and backrest, while the overall furniture still uses rattan as the main material to enhance the design sense. For example, some living room sofas use thicker wood for the carved chair legs and heavy armrests. Coupled with a small and simple shape, this living room sofa appears refined and concise.

Interestingly, even though wood is incorporated into the design, many products like to make wood round, and consumers often easily confuse the difference between thick rattan and wood. In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish between the two. First of all, the thickness of rattan is extremely limited. Generally, rattan with a diameter of about 3 cm is considered relatively thick. If the diameter exceeds this range, it is likely to be wooden. In addition, looking closely, the difference between the two can also be distinguished. In addition to having rattan nodes, the texture of thick rattan is a bit like bamboo and has many slender lines, which is also easy to distinguish from solid wood. I, Yourrattanhome, remind you that generally thicker rattan is of better quality, while thinner rattan is more used for large-area pattern weaving. Rattan with a large degree of curvature generally has better toughness. Therefore, if you see a chair with a curved outer line, it is more likely to be rattan rather than wood. In addition, among rattan art, white rattan is superior, and the quality produced in Indonesia, Myanmar and other places is even better.
