It feels only right that now we’re moving into spring and summer, we’re looking to nature for our interiors inspiration – with rattan being top of the list here at RSG.
Rattan lends an air of boho chic to both your indoor and outdoor space, and certainly brings out the free spirit in RSG co-founder Jane! ‘It always makes me feel like putting on a floaty dress and drifting through the house and garden as if I didn’t have a care in the world,’ she says. ‘I find that natural materials in general inspire feelings of calmness and a gentler state of mind. It’s all very soft and natural, and a lovely introduction to summer.’
And if you’re worried rattan furniture won’t have the longevity you’d like, particularly in an investment piece, think again. This console is super-sturdy, with a dual aspect to the legs for extra stability which makes it ideal for the kitchen or hallway. What’s lovely about this, and all our rattan furniture, is that the crafting is visible – seeing the weft and weave of natural fibres as they knit together to create a thing of beauty is remarkable.
This works wherever in the house you choose to put it – it adds depth and warmth to naturally sunny spots, especially when styled with greenery, or, when teamed with a bold and beautiful table lamp, has the power to elevate darker corners. The two-tiered design means you can display your pretty trinkets on top and store your more functional homeware underneath (this may also come in handy as a drinks trolley – booze on top, glassware underneath). There are myriad uses for this fabulous piece, which has made it a new Team RSG favourite in seconds.
