Vintage and Antique Rattan @ 1st Dibs

1970's Rattan chair in style of Franco Albini

I have had a rattan revival for almost 2 years now, you heard it here first and any media coverage from here on is surely just inspired by the Tent and the Camel

A quick look at 1st Dibs and perhaps they are slightly ahead of the game ;)

Above and below pieces by Franco Albini, a 'neo-rationalist' italian designer and architect of the 1930's and 'student' of Gio Ponte
