Round Rattan
Cocoon Chair, and Curly Sheepskin – Natural, all from Cox & Cox.
Ceiling Shade, Habitat.
KEEP IT LIGHT Woven furniture won’t dominate a space, which makes it ideal for compact spaces and especially good for renters as it’s easily transportable, says Kate Butler, head of product design at Habitat. “Fast-growing materials like rattan and bamboo are increasingly becoming key materials for us, and we’re incorporating these strong and lightweight materials into more modern designs that take advantage of their versatility,” she explains. “Tey allow us to create more interesting 3D shapes, from fluid curves to angular forms, so we’re moving away from traditional rattan associations - which confined it to the conservatory - to more inspirational, contemporary ideas for the home that allow you to add more personality to a space.” She highlights the Nadia bedframe (designed by Matthew Long), made from four individual rattan sections which clip together for easy assembly, and Habitat’s range of rattan light shades, which simply fit over a bulb.
SCENE-STEALER SEATS If you like a laid-back vibe, hanging chairs are ultra-fashionable currently, and Cox & Cox has an open weave Round Rattan Cocoon Chair. It comes with a stand or a hook so it can be hung from the ceiling. Enhance the cosiness by draping with a Curly Sheepskin - Natural.
DIVIDE & RULE Unique pieces, like a folding screen, will conjure a tropical vibe in a living area. And you can ramp up the effect with other accessories, such a mirror, wall-mounted woven platters, occasional seating or a lamp.
