Rattan evokes the glamour and exoticism of the Riviera, grand yachts, and tropical verandas. It appeared in Impressionist paintings, and dazzling celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Gina Lollobrigida were photographed lounging on it. Now, rattan is regaining its allure and becoming increasingly fashionable in interior design and fashion spreads—a reflection of beauty, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

The glamour of rattan shines through in seductive and beautiful interiors—Madeleine Castaing's house in Chartres, Michael Taylor's California beach houses, the Titanic's Café Parisien. The book also showcases tastemakers who have embraced rattan, from Marella Agnelli and Cecil Beaton to design leaders of today, including Jeffrey Bilhuber, Veere Grenney, Axel Vervoordt, and Bunny Williams.

Evelyn N. ★★★★★

The Marilyn Monroe and Gina section pulled me in more than I expected, especially the old photos of those tropical verandas. It sits on my coffee table now and guests keep flipping through it before they even sit down.

Aurora ★★★★★

The photos of Marilyn Monroe's rattan furniture alone made this worth it, but the sections on Impressionist paintings surprised me most. It's a gorgeous coffee-table book, and the historical detail holds up way better than I expected from something this pretty.

Stella ★★★★☆

Bought this after falling for the Riviera photos, and the Impressionist painting references ended up being my favorite part. The paper quality makes the images pop, though I wish it ran a bit longer. Solid coffee table book.
