UNFOLD: MATALA by Irvan Noe'Man

MATALA captures the essence of modern design infused with tradition, blending advanced manufacturing techniques with the artistry of local craftsmanship. With refined rattan details that highlight its natural beauty and an ergonomic form that offers timeless expression of passion and legacy.

 

RATTAN: Weaving Heritage into the Future

VIVERE Collection doesn't just use rattan, we redefine it. This isn't ordinary material as Indonesia's heritage, sourced from the nation that grows 80% of the world's supply.

They champion rattan as a hero of sustainability: a rapidly renewable resource harvested from wild forests without damaging the ecosystem, supporting local communities from harvest to handcraft.

VIVERE Collection selects only the premier Manau rattan, celebrated for its unique flexibility, strength, and clean aesthetic. This superior material is then transformed through a fusion of masterful traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge modern technology.

The result is a modern style built with silent, artisanal joints instead of screws, ensuring it durable and beautiful for years.

This is why hiCraft RATTAN is well known as modern legacy built with care and conscience.
