Lyon French Rattan Bistro Chair - Squares, Small - White/Navy Blue - Multi-Weave - White/Navy Blue

Our rattan furniture is intended for restaurant use. They are crafted to the same standards as those found in the streets of Paris, France, matching those makers' quality, workmanship, and materials. Each piece is handmade in Indonesia – the birthplace of the rattan bistro chair. We use Manau rattan, grown and harvested in the Indonesian rainforests. It is known for its durability, strength, and weather-resistant qualities. Indonesia is the largest rattan producer in the world. Although Paris made the Bistro table and chair famous, Indonesia made the chairs possible.

Each piece of rattan is coated with PU-DOFF, a transparent solvent-based polyurethane resin that provides extra protection from UV rays. The unique coating is specially formulated to deliver a durable, protective layer to resist water and chemicals, making it UV-resistant.

Our weaving material is a high-quality, virgin HDPE (high-density polyethylene). HDPE is a highly sought-after material for use in outdoor applications, as it is UV resistant, impervious to mold and mildew, resistant to extreme temperatures (heat and cold), and waterproof. Virgin HDPE also offers excellent impact resistance and a high tension strength. It is easy to clean using a mild soap detergent with a soft sponge and rinse with water.

HDPE is the most environmentally stable plastic, emitting no harmful fumes into the environment. Manufacturing HDPE plastics requires only a fraction of the energy required to produce steel from iron ore, further contributing to its Eco-friendly classification.

Our chairs and armchairs are stackable, freeing up valuable floor space.

As with any outdoor natural furniture, certain practices should be followed to maintain its condition so that it will last for many years. It is important to be mindful of moisture and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. While rattan is weather-resistant, over time, excessive humidity or wetness can damage this natural material. The chairs are wooden, so they must be allowed to dry completely after they have been wet. It is best to bring them indoors at night so they have time to dry. Keeping them dry and taking steps to protect them is necessary. Whether storing your furniture during periods of excessive rain or simply wiping it down regularly to remove occasional moisture, preventing moisture buildup is vital to extending its life. This guideline is true for all rattan furniture, no matter where the rattan is made or by whom.

No rattan furniture left outside that occasionally becomes wet is free from harm if left uncared for. For instance, rattan furniture used daily in cafés and restaurants throughout Paris is taken inside nightly, giving the rattan time to dry completely if rained upon. Rattan must have time to completely dry after it has been wet. This is true for any rattan product.

Sun damage can occur to rattan furniture if no UV protection has been applied. Our rattan has been treated with PU-DOFF, a transparent solvent-based polyurethane resin that provides extra protection from UV rays. This unique coating is specially formulated to deliver a durable, protective layer that resists water and chemicals and helps protect against UV damage. However, over prolonged exposure to sunlight, UV rays can cause the color to fade.
The ideal situation for any outdoor natural furniture is for it to be stored under an overhang, particularly during rainy periods or continued days of exposure to direct sun, and brought indoors at night so the wooden frame can dry completely.

Taking precautions can help extend the lifespan of the rattan and keep it looking great for many years to come. Following these guidelines should help your rattan furniture last 10 years or longer.
