Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Lamp With Rattan
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between poly rattan and rattan is the material. Rattan is a natural material derived from one of a number of vine-like plants, while poly rattan is a man-made polymer designed to resemble rattan. Because it is synthetic, poly rattan is more resistant to the effects of sun exposure and weather. Explore a wide variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Are rattan and bamboo the same?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, bamboo and rattan are not the same. Bamboo is inflexible so it cannot be curved to make different shapes. Alternatively, rattan is flexible and a type of climbing palm. It looks similar to bamboo but it’s more versatile and not as durable. Shop a collection of bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What are the types of rattan?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The types of rattan are cane, reed, synthetic, Himalayan and Manau. Cane comes from the layer of rattan just below the skin of the vine, while reed is the inner woody part. Himalayan rattan is a softer material commonly used to produce musical instruments. Found in China, Africa and Southeast Asia, Manau rattan is highly durable and thicker than other varieties. Synthetic rattan is a man-made material produced out of polyethylene and other polymers. Shop a variety of rattan furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- Why is rattan so popular?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Rattan is so popular for a number of reasons. For one thing, many people like its natural appearance and appreciate how rattan furniture adds organic texture to a space. In addition, rattan furniture is durable but lightweight, making it easy to move when cleaning or redecorating. Some people also prefer it as a more sustainable alternative to wood, as the plants that produce rattan grow quicker than trees. Explore a wide range of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- What is rattan material?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Rattan is one of the materials used to make wicker furniture and other furnishings. It comes from a plant that grows in hot, tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australia. The quick-growing plant has a bamboo-like inner material that gets removed and fashioned into cane. Stalks of rattan (whose name derives from the Malay “rota”) are dense, steamable and bendable, which is why it lends itself to curvaceous designs and infinite creative uses in a way bamboo does not. Pieces of rattan furniture were welcomed indoors in the mid-20th century, and over time the medium has been put to use by giants of modernism such as Josef Hoffmann, Thonet, Jean-Michel Frank and Donald Deskey. Shop a wide variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Are rattan chairs worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, many furniture lovers believe that rattan chairs are worth it. Not only is rattan a visually appealing choice of material for furniture making, but it is also a lightweight, durable material that resists damage due to UV, moisture and fluctuations in temperature. Rattan chairs in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Art Deco styles are especially popular today. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in rattan chairs is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find rattan chairs and other seating on 1stDibs.
- What is rattan patio furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rattan patio furniture is the term for chairs, tables and other furnishings manufactured out of a certain material and intended for display outdoors. Specifically, the pieces feature woven rattan, a type of vine that hardens as it dries. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage patio furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The best rattan furniture may vary upon your individual needs. There are numerous types of rattan furniture, and the material is famous for its durability and endurance. On 1stDibs, you can shop a diverse range of vintage and antique rattan furniture from top brands around the world.
- What style is rattan furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The style of rattan furniture varies from piece to piece. Furnishings made of rattan grew in popularity during the mid-century, but older pieces may show off characteristics of the Victorian period. In modern homes, rattan pieces often complement coastal, organic, bohemian and modern tropical interior design styles. Shop a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is rattan better than wicker?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 5, 2024No, rattan isn't better than wicker — they're not interchangeable terms. The use of rattan stretches from prehistory to IKEA. To clarify, rattan is not bamboo, which is a rigid, hollow reed. Stalks of rattan are dense, steamable and bendable, which is why it lends itself to curvaceous designs and infinite creative uses in a way bamboo does not. Nor is rattan synonymous with wicker, which is a broader term for woven items — often made of rattan fibers but also of willow, other pliable reeds or even synthetic materials. Wicker and rattan tend to get a bit of a bad rap, but they can actually mingle with a wide range of styles — when done the right way.
Find vintage rattan chairs, dressers, stools and other furniture for sale on 1stDibs. - Is rattan a wicker or bamboo?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wicker is the finished woven product that can be made of either rattan or bamboo. Bamboo is an incredibly solid grass that is difficult to bend while rattan is a vine that’s much easier to manipulate. Shop a collection of wicker furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Can I refinish rattan chairs?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, you can usually refinish rattan chairs. First, you will need to strip away the old finish. Then, you can apply a new finish to the chair. The type of finish you should use depends on whether you will display your chair indoors or outdoors. You'll find a range of rattan chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if rattan is vintage, examine the furnishing in search of a maker's marking. Vintage is the term for any rattan furniture made between 20 and 99 years ago. Older pieces are antique, and more recently crafted ones are contemporary. By researching the maker and the pieces they produced using trusted online resources, you may be able to roughly determine the year of production. Characteristics of your furniture can aid in the dating process, too. Often, vintage pieces have hardwood rather than metal frames, and the rattan will be natural rather than resin. Should you require any assistance, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a range of rattan furniture.
- Is real rattan expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024Whether real rattan is expensive is a matter of opinion. However, rattan poles do tend to cost more than bamboo and many of the other materials used to make wicker and cane furniture. Keep in mind that other factors also influence the cost of furniture, including whether it is mass-produced or handmade and how many pieces are available compared to the demand for them. Explore a range of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, you can varnish rattan furniture. Doing so can actually help to seal the natural material and may help extend the life of your piece. Prior to varnishing, experts recommend that you carefully sand the surfaces of your furniture. Because this is a delicate process, you may wish to enlist the help of professional furniture restorers to ensure the best results. Shop a large selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- How do I renew a rattan chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To renew a rattan chair, start by stripping away its old finish. Apply a conditioner approved for use on rattan, and then refinish as desired. Shop a variety of antique and vintage rattan chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What era rattan furniture is from varies. Furniture produced out of woven rattan was popular during the Victorian era as well as the 1970s. However, the ancient Chinese, Romans and Egyptians also produced furniture out of rattan. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage rattan furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024There is no clear-cut answer to the question of what's better when it comes to rattan or wicker. In terms of strength, rattan generally comes out on top. However, the craftsmanship will also impact how long a rattan or wicker piece will last. Some people prefer rattan because it has a more natural appearance, but others prize the more uniform look of woven wicker. Also, rattan furniture tends to be pricier than wicker. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of rattan and wicker furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024What rattan furniture is made of varies. Natural rattan furniture is crafted from the versatile fibers of a tropical palm native to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Approximately 600 species of trees provide suitable raw materials for producing rattan furniture. Human-made or synthetic rattan is usually made of weather-resistant resin. Explore a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is rattan furniture dated?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No. Rattan furniture has always been in style, and it has become more popular than ever in recent years. Rattan furniture is warm, organic, and goes with almost any decor, including Bohemian, retro, Scandinavian modern, colonial, Hamptons, and country decor styles. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
