Rattan armchairs have established themselves as design furniture classics, able to weather passing trends without ever losing their relevance. The quintessential natural material, rattan brings a structural lightness and an organic texture that sit just as comfortably in a contemporary interior as in a more classic setting. The Cool Republic brings together 42 carefully selected pieces here, from brands renowned for their formal rigour and craftsmanship. To explore the full range of seating available, visit the Armchairs department or take a closer look at the KOK rattan armchairs, an essential name in the category.
Rattan has been worked for generations using precise basketry techniques, which make it possible to achieve the rounded shapes, openwork backrests and enveloping seats so characteristic of the natural-fibre living room armchair. The silhouettes featured in this collection range from tubular-framed models to bucket armchairs with suspended shells, taking in more architectural forms close to the Scandinavian armchair, where visual lightness takes precedence over mass. Dimensions vary according to use, from the small occasional armchair to generous models designed for the living room. The natural tones of raw rattan sit alongside lacquered or painted versions, offering a discreet yet assured palette. For precise colour pairings, the Green armchairs and Pink armchairs are the perfect complement to this rattan selection, with carefully edited colourful options.
A rattan armchair naturally finds its place in a living room, a bedroom, a study or a veranda. Its lightness makes it easy to move around and rearrange with the seasons or as the occasion demands. It pairs happily with a light wood coffee table, a natural-fibre rug or linen textiles to create a coherent, understated interior. To refine your selection according to specific editorial worlds, the Bloomingville armchairs offer Nordic interpretations of rattan that are particularly well suited to pared-back contemporary interiors.
