Instantly adding character to any room, the Malawi Natural Chair is handmade from natural rattan over a sturdy wooden frame, ensuring timeless design and lasting quality.

For longevity, especially for outdoor use, we recommend storing the fabric cushions in dry, covered conditions when not in use, as prolonged exposure to the elements can cause wear.

What customers say
The Malawi Natural Chair is celebrated for its striking organic design, serving as a sculptural focal point. Its quality craftsmanship is evident in the durable, sturdy rattan weave, highlighting the natural materials used.

Know before you buy
While the rattan and wood frame are durable, the chair is best suited for covered porches or sunrooms. We recommend storing the fabric cushion indoors when not in use to prevent weather-related wear and fading.
No, the Malawi Natural Chair arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box.
The rattan frame can be cleaned by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth for deeper cleaning. For the fabric puff cushion, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent and air drying.
Because each chair is handmade in Indonesia from natural materials, there will be slight variations in the rattan weave and wood grain. These unique characteristics are part of the piece's charm and ensure that no two chairs are identical.
The puff cushion is removable, allowing you to easily adjust it for comfort or remove it entirely if you prefer the look of the woven rattan seat on its own.
