Like fanny packs and statement sleeves, wicker is being revived from the 80s and is making its style redemption arc. Rattan in general is back in a big way, and it’s all over Instagram with its warm and organic feel. Resin wicker has the look of the real stuff but isn’t susceptible to cracks and breakage. (Authentic wicker and rattan are best kept indoors because they aren’t weatherproof.) We especially like the chair’s ergonomic backrest and extra-thick cushions that come in bright blue, green, and red.
