Rattan furniture & Outdoor living

Danish label Sika-Horsnaes a/s is a merger between the two eldest rattan furniture manufactures in Scandinavia SIKA MØBLER A/S, established in 1950, and HORSNÆS DESIGN A/S established in 1940. Both have been specialised in production and distribution of rattan- and wicker furniture ever since, and until 1992 also with their own production plans in Denmark.

I can easily imagine how perfectly these chairs would fit in our own interior, but also for outside-living on a terrace. The rattan furniture is becoming popular again, since it was out of sight quite a while. The black variants are really nice in combination with some ethnic accessories, as for example the new Africa inspired prints ´Vilmie´ at Ikea...
