Explore a Vase Woven From Rattan Fibres
This rattan vase is a woven object first and a vessel second. Rattan is a climbing palm whose stems are split into fibres, soaked and worked whilst flexible, then dried to hold their shape, which is why the weave sits tight and the form stays rigid without any internal frame. Because the piece is made with rattan fibres, each one turns out exclusive, with its own tones and textures: colour varies along a single stem, so no two vases take the light in quite the same way.
At 40 cm tall, it has the presence of a floor or console piece rather than a table ornament. The warm honey tone of natural rattan does something a ceramic vase cannot, adding a woven texture that reads as soft even though the material itself is hard. In a Japandi room where surfaces are mostly flat and matte, one piece of visible basketry is often what stops the whole scheme from feeling austere.
