When we discuss sustainable development for our world, what we eat, and wear will pop out of our minds. Sustainable development techniques support countries in adapting to the problems posed by climate change, therefore helping to safeguard significant natural resources for current and future generations. In 2050, our global population is expected to reach 9 billion. Rattan is one of the natural materials we can use for furniture and home decoration items. Rattan has been more popular in interior design over the last few years. Numerous designs highlight the rattan theme, such as British Colonial through Coastal, Bohemian, Retro, or Scandinavian. This durable yet flexible natural material is no longer just for patio furniture, rattan is taking over as a trendy material for interior home accents.


One of the popular rattan furniture designs is called Papasan. The Papasan chair acquired popularity in the West after American World War II military personnel brought them back from Asia, where they had been used in the Philippines and Japan for decades. The word "Papa" is for father and "san" is from the Japanese honorific suffix. The shape of the Papasan chair is rounded like a bowl that can hold our upper body comfortably.
