Description
An unexpected pairing of woven rattan and clear acrylic gives the Bessette coffee table its distinctive character. Wrapped rattan detailing adds texture and movement, while its airy, sculptural silhouette brings effortless sophistication to the living room. Rattan is typically harvested from rattan palms, which grow in tropical regions, and the appearance and texture can vary depending on the environment. For example, whether the season was more dry or wet than usual can impact its natural color, and the time of year it’s harvested can affect how it absorbs color. Some might even include small marks of darker shades, leaving each piece with a subtle sense of individuality. These types of variation are why we love utilizing natural materials for our designs; they offer each piece its own hint of character. Our acrylic is AAA-grade virgin acrylic, meaning it is not a byproduct of oil refinement, and it’s well-loved in our selection for its resistance to yellowing, cracking, and fading over time. Our acrylic pieces are also less likely to have visible seams because the material is hand poured into a mold, and high-quality glue is used to connect joints, though some screws may still be visible. To avoid warping, it’s best to keep your acrylic pieces away from direct heat. Felt feet or coasters are also recommended whenever possible to avoid deep scratches, scuffs, and gouges along the surface.
