How to enhance your patio with Drucker rattan?

What is rattan?

Rattan, a member of the palm family, is a natural material used by artisans to create furniture and other accessories. Its climbing vines are both very strong and flexible. Once stripped, they can be bent or woven into a wide variety of shapes and patterns. This durable and bendable vine is widely used in the manufacture of patio furniture because it is perfectly weather-resistant. Originating from Asia or Africa, rattan will give your decor a rich look, regardless of its appearance and trend. As for its color, rattan comes in several colors depending on its origin, such as vanilla rattan from Manila or chocolate rattan from Malacca. The choice is yours. You can also add a personal touch of color (varnish and paint).

What are the advantages of using rattan?

Rattan is a major asset in terms of furniture thanks to its many advantages:

• It is versatile: it can be used in outdoor or indoor spaces, according to your preferences;
• It is durable and resistant: its solid vines, unlike bamboo which is a hollow stem, are the source of its great resistance.

Despite its robustness, rattan is also a very light and flexible material. Rattan furniture is easy to move and, thanks to it, decorating becomes child's play.

What furniture can be made with rattan?

Rattan is not limited to the design of a single type of furniture. Artisans can create anything with this exceptional material. From furnishing a bedroom to decorating a leisure space, anything is possible. The most common furniture made with this strong vine includes:

• Seating: they can be completely made of rattan or in part. In the latter case, only the seats or backrests will benefit from the expertise of professionals and artisans;
• Tables: they can be entirely composed of rattan;
• High chairs: They are resistant to shocks and varying temperatures, combining comfort, aesthetics and lightness, and can be customized.

Orient your terrace

We recommend that you do not neglect the orientation when you arrange your terrace, as well as the desired use. For sun lovers, consider placing your rattan furniture facing south. If, on the other hand, you want to enjoy a romantic outdoor dinner, direct the terrace to the west.

Illuminate your terrace for summer evenings

To diffuse light on a large or small terrace, you can enjoy our various light fixtures such as:

• The Bobino : it is ideal for covered terraces and features a rattan pith weave;
• The Odeon XL : with its 3 kg, it can be fixed to any ceiling or support.

Drucker light fixtures are handcrafted, one by one, upon request to give you the opportunity to choose the colors you like.

Rattan furniture has a unique texture and natural tones that blend well with almost any style. Thus, you can add charm to an empty corner with our low ultramarine blue round stool. Its color will perfectly enhance a space decorated in a chic or cozy style. For a more eclectic look, contrast the casual perception of rattan with a contemporary style. To satisfy you, we also have:

• Low ruby red round stools;
• High black round stools.

Some are stackable and will save you space when needed.

Refresh your relaxation area

Consider plants for their greenery and freshness, choose matching planters or flower pots such as:

• The box planters;
• The non-woven rattan planters;
• The woven rattan planters.

They can hold several flowers at once, both the lowest and the highest. All you have to do is enjoy yourself.

For seating, our lightweight rattan chairs are suitable and inviting. We recommend:

• The Alesia chair;
