Crafted from natural golden-toned rattan bamboo, this piece combines organic texture with breezy elegance, making it the perfect accent for bohemian, coastal, or eclectic interiors.

The bamboo used in this piece is likely manau rattan, prized for its strength, flexibility, and smooth, warm-toned surface. The hand-bent scroll patterns encircling the base offer a touch of artisan craftsmanship that sets it apart from mass-produced bamboo furniture. Lightweight yet sturdy, this table can be easily moved from room to room, indoors or out (covered areas are recommended).

This style surged in popularity during the 1970s tropical revival, echoing earlier influences from 1930s British Colonial and South Pacific decor. It reflects a design ethos rooted in casual luxury, where natural materials, handwork, and versatility reign supreme.

Solid cane weave top in excellent condition with two small breaking points.
Hand-bent scrollwork detailing throughout the base
Made of manau rattan bamboo

Styling Ideas:
Use this charming piece as a nightstand, plant stand, or occasional table in a sunroom or beside a linen sofa.

Ideal for boho, coastal, Japandi, or Palm Beach Regency spaces.
