Sustainability & Craftsmanship
Handmade
Each COKOS piece of furniture is made entirely by hand and is a unique work of art in itself.
Shaping the material requires extreme precision and pure craftsmanship. Traditional tools help shape this natural material. But no tool can replace the skilled craftsman's experience required to work rattan.
Sustainability
Because they grow so quickly, rattan palms are considered one of the most sustainable materials for furniture production. This fast-growing vine can be harvested every five to seven years, eliminating the need to artificially accelerate the harvest.
Besides the many advantages that make rattan so popular for furniture making, the natural material is also a sustainable alternative to felling trees. The rattan palm thrives only in intact rainforests with sufficient trees to support this vine. This means that rattan cultivation is directly linked to the conservation of the ecosystem, wildlife, and the protection of native rainforests.
Not machine produced
Rattan products are not only beautiful, but also incredibly sustainable. Rattan is even called a sustainable alternative to wood, and because each product is handmade, there's no mechanical production involved.
