Unlike large, slow-growing trees, rattan grows quickly and can be harvested within a few years, making it a renewable resource. The vines grow on big, hardwood trees, which means that in order to grow rattan, these trees need to be actively protected. By sourcing rattan responsibly, we not only ensure the best quality wood for our tables but also promote the longevity of this precious resource and contribute to the biodiversity of tropical forests. By engaging in sustainable harvesting, we are also supporting local communities and protecting the fragile balance between economic growth and environmental protection.
