Lumikenkä armchair by Parolan Rottinki is a Finnish classic of rattan furniture. Lumikenkä, Finnish for a snowshoe, features a soft and organic shape resembling a traditional snowshoe. The low armchair is made of woven rattan, which is a durable and ecological material with a beautiful, light colour. Place the Lumikenkä chair in the living room or by the fireplace, or use it for enjoying the sunshine at a terrace or balcony. Complement the setting with the rattan coffee table from the same collection.
Each rattan product is unique – natural material deviations and the craftsmanship are the attributes that create the character for rattan furniture. The colour of a natural, unpainted rattan may vary from product to product and it may show annual growth rings, small cracks, or colour variations on the surface. These details create the organic nature of rattan that makes it such fascinating material.
Rattan is a tropical wood species, and therefore rattan furniture holds up best in humid settings. Elements such as scorching sun, air conditioning and being too close to heat sources may dry out the rattan furniture, which can lead to tears and breakage. It is also advisable that rattan furniture should not be left outside without fully protecting them from rain and snow.
