Just how big of a rattan fan are you?
Like how fashion trends come and go, furniture and décor trends often undergo the same cycle. Today, we’ve seen a recent resurgence of interest… in rattan furniture!
Rattan isn’t just for adding an organic touch back to your spaces though – they are extremely durable and versatile (you can place them on your balconies!). Whether you’re looking to recreate trendy island-themed interiors or just looking to add warmth back to your spaces, these are the stores (and pieces) you should definitely check out!
Take a trip down memory lane with Kathy’s Cove. Designed in Singapore and handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia, each piece evokes memories of yesteryear while complementing home interiors of today.

Think that all rattan furniture has a particular look and feel? The crew at SECOND CHARM shakes things up with their unconventional approach – think bistro chairs with a monochrome palette plus customised wardrobes with hanging shelves and drawers.

Having started out as a teak garden furniture distributor in 1998, HEMMA has now grown into a full-fledged store that offers a plethora of furnishings. Aside from the typical solid wood and rattan furniture, they have a collection that’s made from weatherproof synthetic wicker – which means that you can use them outdoors!
Much like its namesake, the people at Originals want to give homeowners a sense of “putting their own unique stamp” in their abode. They take traditional pieces and quality (yet sustainable) materials then updates them with contemporary approaches. The end result? Environmentally-friendly, practical designs that are eye-catching accents!
