Colonial Comfort: Rattan Furniture's Tale in Southeast Asia

Uncover the surprising link between the rise of rattan furniture and Southeast Asia's colonization. As Western powers explored and colonized the region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they discovered unique materials like rattan, palm, and bamboo.

Join us as we explore how these colonizers ingeniously crafted chairs for comfort, adapting to a new environment where sitting on chairs was not a traditional practice.
