Handmade with a traditional wicker weave and a contemporary shape, the Dijon four-seater lounging set from Desser is an attractive design for the living room or conservatory.

The two-seater sofa and pair of lounge armchairs have lower backs and sweeping arms for a comfortable sit. The handsewn seat and backrest cushions are made in the UK with a wrapped finish to help prevent wear and tear.

The coffee table has a 5mm toughened glass top and a storage shelf to keep magazines, newspapers and books tucked away. Wicker sides prevent items from slipping off the shelf. Wooden legs ensure stability on every piece in the set.

Strong and durable, natural rattan is low maintenance and easy to keep clean. Wipe the furniture clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Keep the furniture in a dry environment and avoid leaving it under direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The furniture’s colour lasts longer if moved around a conservatory regularly to protect it from direct sun in the same spot.

Sustainably sourced in Indonesia, rattan is fast-growing compared to wood alternatives and, as a companion crop, its farming encourages the preservation of forests. Every part of the rattan vine is used. Outer rattan cane is used for attractive weaving and the solid core is steamed to manipulate it into beautiful furniture shapes.
