{"product_id":"black-rattan-core-stool-44cm","title":"Black Rattan Core Stool - 44cm","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handwoven stool is a round, open drum in black rattan. Upright rods run down the sides and curve inwards over a softly rounded shoulder to meet the top, a disc of concentric coiled rings. Wrapped bands circle it at the shoulder, twice around the middle and again at the base, and the whole piece stands on small round feet. It is made from 60% rattan and 40% iron, and it measures 46cm across and 44cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works as a seat or as a decorative piece in its own right. Keep it in a hallway as somewhere to sit while you pull on boots, set it at the foot of a bed, or tuck it beside a sofa as a spare seat for when friends call round. The open sides are the practical point: you can see the floor through it, so it reads lighter than a solid seat of the same size, which helps in a smaller room. The 46cm width is the figure to measure against, since that is the floor space it needs wherever it goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made in the Philippines and needs no assembly, so it is ready to use as soon as it is unpacked. Rattan is the stem of a climbing palm, strong for its weight and pliable enough to be bent and woven, which is why furniture makers have relied on it for generations. In black, the weave takes on a crisp, graphic outline that shows up well against pale floors and light walls. We like it with pale timber, a patterned rug and other natural textures around it, where the dark colour gives the room an anchor without adding bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60% rattan, 40% iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound open drum with a coiled top, in black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandwoven; no assembly required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46 x 44cm (width x height)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle stool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhilippines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I sit on it, or is it just for show?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEither.

Rattan is a natural cane from a climbing palm, flexible enough to weave and strong enough for furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much room does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 46cm across and 44cm high, so allow a 46cm circle of floor. If it is going beside a sofa, compare the 44cm height with the sofa's seat and arm so you know how it will sit alongside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need putting together?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It needs no assembly at all, so it can go straight into place the moment it is out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the sides solid or open?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen. Upright rods run from the base up to the rounded shoulder, circled by wrapped bands, so you can see straight through the sides.
