New looks in wicker, rattan and other woven furniture
Traditional wicker and rattan have a lot of company these days: contemporary furniture that molds these old materials into fresh shapes, as well as pieces in other natural fibers such as abaca bark and sea grass. In some cases, these materials are elements of lower-cost collections — a reflection of the rising cost of metal and consumers’ tightening budgets. Here, Crate & Barrel’s 16 1/2-inch-tall rattan ottoman ($139) looks airy and light but is sturdy enough to use as a stool.
