Hospitality Rattan Furniture Supplier: Teak and Rattan Specs for Hotels and Restaurants

Rattan has come back into hotel lobbies, restaurant dining rooms and villa terraces, and buyers keep asking us the same practical thing: where can it actually go, and what should be in the specification? We’re a reclaimed teak manufacturer, so our rattan work is teak frames with woven seats and backs. This guide is for buyers looking for a hospitality rattan furniture supplier who will say clearly where the material stops being a good idea.

The Short Answer

Rattan suits lobbies, restaurant interiors, cafes and covered terraces, paired with a solid teak frame for structure. Our Alona and Lazy chairs are specified for indoor and covered outdoor use, and the Alexander is listed for indoor and outdoor use, though we’d still keep any rattan under cover. For the exposed edge of a pool deck or beachfront, all-teak furniture is the safer choice.

Natural vs Synthetic Rattan

The two look similar in a photo and behave differently in service. These are general material traits, not claims about one brand:

Trait	Natural rattan	Synthetic rattan
Look and feel	Organic, with subtle variation in tone	Uniform, available in darker or bolder colors
Moisture	Absorbs water, so it needs shelter from rain	Does not absorb water
Sun	Dries and darkens over time	Can fade under constant UV
Repair	Re-weaving by hand	Panel or strand replacement
Best placement	Indoors and covered areas	Covered and semi-exposed areas

Where Teak and Rattan Works

Hotel lobbies and lounges: rattan adds visual lightness to a solid frame.
Restaurant dining rooms and cafes: open weaves breathe in warm climates and feel lighter than all-wood chairs.
Covered terraces and villa verandas: fine, as long as the roof keeps rain off the weave.
Not recommended: uncovered pool decks, beachfront seating and anywhere the furniture sits in direct rain. Use solid teak or another weatherproof material there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can rattan furniture be used outdoors in a hotel?

Yes, in covered areas. Our Alona and Lazy chairs are specified for indoor and covered outdoor use such as sheltered terraces, and the Alexander is listed for indoor and outdoor use, though we would still keep any rattan under cover. For uncovered pool decks and beachfront seating, solid teak is the safer choice.

What is the difference between natural and synthetic rattan?

Natural rattan is a plant cane with an organic look, and it needs shelter from rain. Synthetic rattan is a woven resin that does not absorb water and comes in more colors, though constant UV can fade it over time.

Is teak and rattan furniture durable enough for restaurants?

The reclaimed teak frame is built for commercial use, with joinery chosen per product and load. The rattan seat is the part that wears, so specify the weave carefully and ask about replacement panels.

Can you make custom rattan patterns or colors?

Custom finishes and rattan patterns are available for bulk orders on selected pieces, and custom dimensions and finishes are available on others. Send your reference photos and quantities and we will confirm what is possible.

What is the minimum order for rattan hospitality furniture?

Catalog items start at 20 units per SKU and custom specifications at 10 units per SKU. Mixed SKUs can go on one purchase order for project orders.
