Can rattan chairs or rattan lighting also be placed in the garden?

No, natural rattan chairs or lamps are sensitive to moisture and should not be left outside. Rattan absorbs water and will mold, turn black, and eventually break if you leave the rattan furniture in the garden. Intense sunlight can also cause rattan to dry out and start splintering.

Chairs or lamps with a rattan look made of plastic can perfectly be left outside. Synthetic wicker is made for the outdoors and has the following advantages:

  • UV-resistant and will therefore not discolor

  • Waterproof and frost-resistant

  • Can be left outside all year round
