Fashion and lifestyle brand Ong Shunmugam expands its universe with rattan furniture.
Fashion house Ong Shunmugam follows up its foray into homeware with rattan furniture this year. The Suvarnabumi collection uses rattan to weave together a tapestry of cultures, mixing several varieties of natural rattan from Malaysia with synthetic rattan and batik from Indonesia, jacquard from China and the indigenous weave patterns of Borneo’s Iban tribe. “Most of our pieces didn’t have a template to build upon. We drew the design from scratch and the craftsmen had to work from the drawings.” says brand founder Priscilla Ong Shunmugam, who designed them during a lockdown in London.
The Suvarnabumi rattan furniture collection is available to pre-order from www.ongshunmugan.com. Prices range from $179 to $1,999.
