Amara

Meet the maker Amara

Amara's collection of sustainably-crafted rattan furniture and decor brings lasting, meaningful experiences to people around the world while preserving the heritage craft of weaving rattan. Rattan itself is a naturally renewable, quick-growing, sustainable material. The climbing plant comprises half of the palm taxa growing in India and can withstand heavy harvesting.It is easy to work with — it’s bendable, strong, and durable and creates long-lasting furniture with low-impact processing. Amara sources their rattan from rural communities in West Bengal that rely on rattan cultivation as their source of income.
