Rattan furniture from Asia – handmade Bilik room divider

Patio area

Handcrafted in Java, Indonesia, Bubu and Bilik demonstrate the many uses of rattan furniture. Designed in a typical Southeast Asian style, the Bilik screen has multiple pockets in different sizes. This innovative idea saves space and can provide the necessary storage for favorite books, an iPad, cell phone, keys, sunglasses and much more. Not only that: the furniture is extremely durable and can stand up well to rain, wind and sun. Although the design looks massive, it is actually very light and can even be carried by one person. Use the divider in the living room to create a cozy reading corner in winter, or in the garden to protect the patio from neighbors.

Bubu is a rattan bench characterized by its lightweight and ergonomic design. The bench responds to body weight and changes its shape accordingly. A metal frame increases stability. The seat is very comfortable and cozy, and it is well suited to the garden as well as the living room. Bubu was inspired by a traditional Indonesian fishing trap; its shape even resembles a fish. The sculptural aspect defines this rattan furniture by the design studio Lanzavecchia + Wai. Through their collection, the duo tries to mix tradition and modernity and present innovative combinations of materials. Their creations have been enthusiastically received by many art galleries and interior magazines. Inspired by traditional methods and natural materials, their latest collection feels both crafted and contemporary. Enjoy the creative furniture designs in the photo gallery below.
