Finding the Right Patio And Garden Furniture for You
Whether you're sitting around a firepit, playing games or enjoying a meal, outdoor furniture is crucial for a successful social gathering.
We’ve come a long way from the rudimentary patio and garden furniture of yore, which, in the Ancient Roman and Greek eras, meant stone slabs. Back then, your grandiose patch of outdoor greenery was a place to relax and admire the manicured hedges and fruit orchards. Fortunately, advancements in the design of outdoor furniture as well as the burgeoning of artisan landscape designers have made it easier to do so since then.
The need for outdoor chairs, tables and benches to withstand varying weather conditions means that many contemporary offerings prioritize durability over form. For a touch of glamour in your garden, antique and vintage pieces from France or Italy, which have already proven they can stand the test of time, can introduce an elegant sensibility to your outdoor space.
In the late 1940s, Hawaii-based architect Walter Lamb began fashioning outdoor furniture from nautical rope and metal tubing rescued from sunken Pearl Harbor ships. Although his designs were originally intended as gifts for returning GIs, his creations gained such popularity that they were picked up by the then-new Brown Jordan furniture company of California.
Lamb’s adventurous creations inspired many designers who followed. The seating and tables crafted by other mid-century furniture makers noted for their seminal patio and garden works — a list that includes Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green, Russell Woodard and Woodard Furniture, Maurizio Tempestini and Richard Schultz — remain highly sought after by collectors today.
Whether it’s wicker couches for your screened porch or wrought-iron armchairs for fireside drinks, find the antique and vintage patio and garden furniture you need to wind down the day or welcome the morning sun on 1stDibs.
Questions About Rattan Outdoor Furniture
- What is rattan patio furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rattan patio furniture is the term for chairs, tables and other furnishings manufactured out of a certain material and intended for display outdoors. Specifically, the pieces feature woven rattan, a type of vine that hardens as it dries. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage patio furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, not all rattan furniture can be left outside. Some pieces may fade, warp or develop mold if left unprotected in uncovered outdoor areas. In fact, some rattan furniture needs to only be used indoors. You'll find a variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rattan furniture is very durable, and some of it is designed to be used as outdoor furniture, but it is not impervious to rain. In fact, rattan furniture can be damaged and even destroyed if it’s not treated for weather. Treating your rattan furniture and protecting it from the elements is the best way to preserve its integrity and keep it in good shape. Shop a collection of rattan furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023As far as determining whether aluminum or rattan is better for outdoor furniture, one should keep in mind that genuine rattan is not waterproof. If you’re thinking about using rattan outdoor furniture in a patio or garden area and you live in a region that is susceptible to inclement weather, this material will most certainly rot if subjected to prolonged periods of rain or snow. Invest in a durable waterproof cover to protect your rattan outdoor furniture in the rain or, if you are able, store it away. Cast aluminum is a popular choice for outdoor furniture given that it is resistant to rust and it is a durable material. Find a selection of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Whether wicker or rattan is better for outdoor furniture depends on whether you're referring to natural or synthetic wicker. Both natural wicker and rattan can become damaged when exposed to the elements. However, experts state that synthetic rattan may be slightly more durable than natural wicker. Synthetic or all-weather wicker made of resin is weather-resistant, so this type of wicker may outlast both natural rattan and wicker. Explore a wide range of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- What style is rattan furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The style of rattan furniture varies from piece to piece. Furnishings made of rattan grew in popularity during the mid-century, but older pieces may show off characteristics of the Victorian period. In modern homes, rattan pieces often complement coastal, organic, bohemian and modern tropical interior design styles. Shop a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The best rattan furniture may vary upon your individual needs. There are numerous types of rattan furniture, and the material is famous for its durability and endurance. On 1stDibs, you can shop a diverse range of vintage and antique rattan furniture from top brands around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, you can varnish rattan furniture. Doing so can actually help to seal the natural material and may help extend the life of your piece. Prior to varnishing, experts recommend that you carefully sand the surfaces of your furniture. Because this is a delicate process, you may wish to enlist the help of professional furniture restorers to ensure the best results. Shop a large selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What era rattan furniture is from varies. Furniture produced out of woven rattan was popular during the Victorian era as well as the 1970s. However, the ancient Chinese, Romans and Egyptians also produced furniture out of rattan. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage rattan furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024What rattan furniture is made of varies. Natural rattan furniture is crafted from the versatile fibers of a tropical palm native to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Approximately 600 species of trees provide suitable raw materials for producing rattan furniture. Human-made or synthetic rattan is usually made of weather-resistant resin. Explore a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is rattan furniture dated?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No. Rattan furniture has always been in style, and it has become more popular than ever in recent years. Rattan furniture is warm, organic, and goes with almost any decor, including Bohemian, retro, Scandinavian modern, colonial, Hamptons, and country decor styles. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The best method for repairing rattan furniture depends on the extent of the damage. Small sections of broken or worn rattan can sometimes be cut away and replaced with new rattan weave. For large areas of damage, the entire piece may need to be recovered. An experienced furniture repair person can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best approach to repairing and restoring your furniture. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of rattan furniture.
- Is rattan furniture worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many furniture lovers believe that rattan furniture is worth it. Rattan adds textural appeal to living spaces and is usually quite durable. At the same time, rattan furniture tends to be lightweight, making it easy to maneuver when cleaning or rearranging your room. You can find rattan furniture in a wide range of styles, including mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern, Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts and neoclassical. When shopping for rattan furniture, remember that the quality of the craftsmanship will also determine how long your pieces last. Find a wide range of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024What outdoor furniture is called varies. Garden furniture is one of the most widely used terms for furniture used outdoors. Other names include patio furniture, lawn furniture, exterior furniture and al fresco furniture. You can also simply refer to it as outdoor furniture. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary outdoor furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024There is no single type or brand that can be called the strongest outdoor furniture. How long a particular piece lasts will depend on its craftsmanship, the weather conditions in the area and how you care for and maintain it. Materials do affect durability as well. Some particularly long-lasting materials include wrought iron, aluminum, stainless steel, teak wood, fiberglass, resin wicker and tempered glass. Find a wide range of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024There is no single most lasting outdoor furniture. Some materials do tend to endure the effects of weather and sun exposure better than others. Among them are teak wood, wrought iron, resin wicker, stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass and tempered glass. However, the quality of the craftsmanship of furniture and how well you care for and maintain pieces will also impact longevity. Explore a collection of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is outdoor furniture waterproof?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Most outdoor furniture is water-resistant but not waterproof. In other words, it resists, but does not prevent, water penetration.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023How long rattan furniture lasts depends on a variety of factors, including where you use and store it, how you care for it and the quality of the manufacturing. Outdoors, rattan furniture usually doesn’t last as long, but indoors, pieces can remain beautiful for many years, especially when wiped clean regularly. Rattan and wicker furniture tend to get a bit of a bad rap, often associated with kitschy 1980s decor or denigrated as something found in the home of a dowdy great aunt. But the long-lasting natural medium, made popular in Great Britain and the United States during the Victorian era, is a master of disguise, able to mingle with a wide range of styles when done the right way. On 1stDibs, shop a range of rattan furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The difference between rattan and cane furniture lies in the materials used. Although rattan and cane come from the same type of vine plant, cane undergoes a stripping process that rattan doesn't. As a result, cane is thinner than rattan. Shop a collection of rattan and cane furniture on 1stDibs.
AutomatonMarch 10, 2021In terms of collectibility, the best make of Rattan Furniture was Gabriella Crespi with her 'Rising Sun' line. While Paul Frankl's designs are also highly coveted and valuable, Crespi has far greater rarity and mystique with her 'Rising Sun' collection. In addition, Frankl's designs were much more copied over the decades whereas Crespi's rattan line is more unique and therefore valuable to collectors and dealers alike.- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between rattan and wicker is that rattan is the material whereas wicker is the type of weave. Therefore, a wicker weave can be made using rattan, along with other materials. Shop a collection of wicker and rattan furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between rattan and bamboo furniture comes down to materials. Bamboo is a wood-like material derived from perennial grasses in the Bambusoideae subfamily, while rattan is a stiff material made from vines in the Calamoideae subfamily. Generally, bamboo is heavier and less flexible than rattan, making for weightier furniture. Due to its flexibility, rattan can be woven into wicker or used in its raw form to build furniture. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of rattan and bamboo furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021All-weather wicker, commonly known as resin wicker, is made primarily for use in outdoor patio furniture. It is made of synthetic material, usually polyethylene, and is designed to seem like genuine wicker. All-weather wicker is durable, mold-resistant and easy to clean. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary wicker outdoor furniture from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
