The Belian is our love letter to the rattan chairs of the kampung house, rebuilt for a modern room. The frame is steam-bent solid timber; the back and sides are hand-caned by weavers we have worked with for years.

Cane breathes, which is exactly what you want in a Malaysian living room — no sticking to upholstery on a warm evening. A loose seat cushion in linen or leather softens the sit.
