Bonacina：藤編之美

The large-format photos really showcase the intricate weaving techniques and elegant silhouettes. I’ve already spent an hour just flipping through the pages, studying the craftsmanship. A gorgeous tribute to a century of design excellence.

I had no idea rattan furniture had this kind of history behind it. The book traces over 135 years of the craft, and the photos of those sophisticated interiors had me rethinking my whole living room.

The archival photography alone is worth it — I've spent hours poring over the interiors shots of rattan pieces in these grand old residences. You really get a sense of how the weaving styles evolved across 135 years.
