Rattan is one of the most ancient natural furniture materials that we use today. It is used extensively for flooring in the far East where hot climates and lack of synthetics manufacturing capabilities require hard-wearing natural floor coverings, which are easy to produce and replace. In contrast to bamboo which is a hollow grass, rattan is a solid timber vine obtained primarily from Indonesian jungles. Other South-Eastern Asian producers such as Thailand, Phillipines and Malaysia also produce rattan, demand for which has grown astronomically in the last thirty years.

As with the other popular Eastern furniture material, bamboo, there are a diverse range of spiny climbing rattan species - over 700, all of which grow in tropical and sub-tropical forestry. Rattan is an important economic product in the places where it is harvested commercially and many rural livelihoods, environments and businesses depend on rattan. Overall, the global rattan trade is worth $4 billion.
