The beautiful, enduring case for wicker, rattan, and raffia

There is something about the texture of wicker. The soft creak of a rattan chair, the honeyed warmth of a woven daybed catching the afternoon light, the gentle scent of dried natural fibers in a sun-drenched room. For me, these woven textures are intimately tied to long, leisurely weekends and to that ineffable smell of spring and summer in the air. They say: slow down, sit here, stay awhile.

From the café terraces of Paris to carefully curated homes across Provence, Tuscany, and America, wicker and its kindred fibers have proven themselves endlessly, beautifully resilient. They are a home staple that has stood the test of time, and today we are celebrating them in all their woven glory.
