Rattan is a climbing palm: light, flexible and strong once it is steamed and bent. It loves shade and moderate humidity.
Bamboo is a grass that regrows in three to five years. Smoked bamboo is heat-treated for a deeper colour and better resistance to insects.
Teak carries natural oils that protect it outdoors. Choose recycled teak: the grain is tighter and every plank has a past.
