Rattan, family of coconut instead of bamboo, grows in tropical rainforests. Rattan is strong and one of the longest plants.
Climbing toward the sunshine high in the sky, Rattan bends when it cannot support itself. Falling on the ground, Rattans continue growing with prickles on leaves and branches tangling up trees close-by. Growing, bending and tangling over and over, it sometimes grows up to hundreds of meters.

Among 300 Rattan families, there are 30 types of rattan to be used for industrial materials. They sometimes become thick while growing, sometimes remain slim, thick, hard or soft with fine or coarse fibers. Rattans with coarse fibers will be used for frames of furniture and those with fine fibers are used for materials to weave or wrap by splitting to peals and cores.
Compared to trees that need 50 to 70 years to grow, Rattan is protected by jungles and recovers only in 5 to 10 years. It is a resource for and by nature.
