Wicked Wicker

The Family Love Tree's bold and whimsical rattan furniture is the perfect product to transition into the weekend. Light, bright, and a bit bohemian, it's not your cottage's typical wicker...

... and yet TFLT's line of beds and tables could integrate nicely into some preexisting spaces. It's enough like "regular" wicker to fit in, but different enough to be, well, different.

Of course, Mainers know the transformative power of color on rattan. Seasonal homes have long been filled painted wicker pieces, as their natural predecessors were comfortable, lightweight, and readily available.

This ancient form of furniture will always hold a place in our Rural Modern heart. It may not be quite our style, but it's certainly a part of our story, and one could argue that Furniturea, like most modern furniture builders, owe a nod of gratitude to our rattan relatives, and the generations' old New Englanders who dared paint their inheritances to enliven them with color.
