Regularised Rattan Lath – Premium Grade

The regularised rattan lath, between tradition and modernity

Cut from the bark of rattan and smoothed, this fine lath keeps a rustic character while offering a welcome evenness. Appreciated in traditional basketry as well as contemporary creations, it is used to make baskets, decorative objects and furniture elements. Natural and durable, it showcases handwork and the beauty of a living material.

Working it well

To gain suppleness, lightly soak the lath in water before use: it will bend more easily and reduce breakage. Once dry, the work recovers all its strength. Store the lath away from moisture and prolonged sun exposure, and dust with a soft cloth.

Premium-grade rattan, sourced since 1850

Our rattan is carefully selected in Indonesia for its strength, even colour and consistent gauge, in keeping with Maison Douineau’s expertise since 1850. For your basketry and cabinetmaking projects, explore the Vannerie DIY universe and Our advice.
