The Monet Footstool is handcrafted from rattan and produced by Sika-Design, a company with a history of innovation in wicker furniture making since the 1950s.
Owing to its elegance and intricate working, the Monet Footstool fits cosily in the home. It can be paired with the Monet Lounge Chair or matched with other furniture in your home to provide a comfortable place to relax.
Quality is a core principle of Sika-Design's approach. Although its origin's lie in Denmark, Sika-Design moved production to Malaysia in the 1970s and now to Indonesia, where artisanship in wickerwork has been practiced and respected for centuries.
Close attention is paid to all stages of the production process. The rattan, harvested nearby, is specially selected to provide durability and longevity in the finished product. The Monet Footstool is then handcrafted by local artisan workers, through steaming and shaping the rattan by using simple tools and original techniques.
Rattan is among the most sustainable materials used in making furniture. It grows on trees and can be harvested in rainforests without damaging the local environment. Rattan regenerates in around 5-7 years and produces 35% more oxygen than a tree, absorbing CO2 in the process. Sika-Design, in working closely with local rattan harvesters and artisans to produce quality furniture, is able to support forest-dependent communities and uphold our collective environmental responsibility.
