Rattan furniture has an easy appeal to it. The wicker weave is tactile and comforting and brings us that bit closer to nature, and it is typically used in rooms that are all about relaxing, think conservatories, bedroom corners, or a contemporary living room. Take those notions and combine them with the high-armed hug you get from the chair. A more traditional silhouette with a fanned back, it has a slightly slimmer frame than the chair and the arms come a few inches higher too to make it even more comfy and cozy.
