What are the origins of vintage style furniture?
The term vintage refers to all products from a particular era that are now considered trendy. In general, it is not uncommon to speak of vintage, classic, or retro furniture evoking pieces from the early 20th century. However, the name also refers to furniture manufactured today, inspired by the lines and forms of that era.
Between the 1920s and 1950s, some luxury furniture was custom-made by hand, using rattan. This rattan structure was covered with caning, also made by hand. This was a high-end craft. These pieces of furniture were unique, robust, lightweight, and, most of the time, stackable. It is thanks to all these qualities that rattan furniture, especially those made by Maison Louis Drucker, achieved immense success both in France and around the world.
The strong preference for natural materials in recent years responds to consumer demand for sustainable development. Appreciated by many consumers, rattan retains all its properties over time. This material also has the great advantage of resisting temperature and humidity.
