It is the workhorse of rattan contruction, prized for its strength and pliability. We use it to create the sturdy, woven framework of our table lamps, wall sconce, providing structure and a classic, textured look.

3. Arorog (Native Philippine Rattan)

Arorog is a special, organic rattan native to the Philippines. It is a cherished material known for its exceptional durability and unique character.
