The seat shell has a closed woven seat to bear more weight, and a backrest designed to create an airy and clean look. A great piece to buy a few of to sit around your dining table or even as a stand alone chair in your bedroom.
Malalku Rattan Small Round Wall Mirror, Habitat, £65
Looking great babes! Not you, the mirror – joking you look great, too. We love this mirror, which would look great propped on a mid-century sideboard or hanging on a dark blue wall. Lovely.
Diameter 50cm

Pop it above your bedroom chest of drawers, near your fireplace in the living room or even in the hall for an instant room upgrade.
Ria Rattan Bed, Urban Outfitters, £849
Ok so this is pretty extra but if you’re a dedicated follower of... rattan, then why wouldn’t you bring this bed into your life? Channelling all of the 70s boho vibes, the bed frame is made from a looped rattan construction with rounded corners. Sadly, the mattress isn’t included.
