Radici: The Roots of Hand-Woven Rattan, Reimagined
Radici: The Roots of
Hand-Woven Rattan, Reimagined
Serveware · Table Decor · Sambonet
Radici means roots. Handwoven from natural rattan by Sambonet, each piece tells a story of tradition, patience, and craftsmanship. Its timeless design evokes memories of sunlit family tables and moments passed from one generation to the next, where beauty was found in simplicity.
At Amiramour, we are drawn to objects that adapt effortlessly to the way we live and entertain. Pieces that feel equally at home on a beautifully set table as they do in everyday spaces. A handwoven basket can present fresh bread at dinner, organise a bathroom shelf, or hold fruit on the kitchen counter. A pedestal stand turns pastries, cheeses, or seasonal décor into a thoughtful display.
This is the essence of the Radici collection: versatile pieces that move seamlessly from kitchen to dining room, terrace, or yacht deck, combining everyday practicality with the timeless beauty of handcrafted design.
Every piece is hand-woven from rattan harvested without harming the plant it comes from — a material that regenerates quickly, requires little processing, and ages beautifully with use. The result is a collection with real conscience behind its beauty.
A Design Language Rooted in the Seventies
Look closely at the weave of any Radici piece and you will find the same structured geometry that defined the most confident design decade of the twentieth century — clean lines, honest materials, and a sense of warmth that mass production could never quite replicate. Sambonet has taken that language and rebuilt it for a table that now spans a superyacht's aft deck as often as a countryside kitchen.
What makes the collection so quietly compelling is its restraint. There is no ornament for ornament's sake — only the natural, honey-brown tone of the rattan itself, and a weave so precise it becomes the decoration. It is a look that sits comfortably alongside linen, stoneware, and brushed brass, which is exactly why our clients have been asking for it.
Rattan lends warmth to the table, creating an inviting atmosphere without sacrificing sophistication. Its woven texture feels both familiar and refined, proving that the most enduring designs are often the simplest.
For interior managers and chief stews curating a yacht's tablescape, or for homeowners assembling a considered kitchen, the Radici collection offers something rare: a full wardrobe of pieces designed to be used together, each one recognisably part of the same story.
Storage & Baskets
The collection's foundation pieces — four baskets in varying shapes and proportions, equally at home organising linens in a cabin, holding fresh towels in a bathroom, or presenting bread and fruit at the table. Lightweight, sturdy, and endlessly adaptable.
Serving & Presentation
This is where Radici earns its place at the centre of the table. A tray built for carrying, stands that lift a single plate or a whole cake into focus, a holder for condiments that travels from prep to service, and a cloche that reminds us that even the simplest gestures at the table can be beautifully considered.
Bar & Entertaining
Rattan may not be the first material that comes to mind behind the bar, but that unexpected choice is precisely what gives it its character. The insulated flask and ice bucket bring the same handwoven warmth to drinks service, wrapped discreetly around genuinely functional, temperature-retaining cores.
Table Setting
The finishing details — coasters, placemats, napkin rings, and a discreet cutlery holder — that complete a Radici table from the base up. Small pieces, but the ones a guest's hand actually touches.
Where Radici Belongs
On a Yacht
Rattan brings a grounded, natural texture to interiors otherwise dominated by lacquer, chrome, and glass. Used across a breakfast tray, a bread basket, or a set of coasters, the Radici collection softens a formal tablescape without compromising its elegance—a balance that chief stews and interior managers value when creating spaces that feel both refined and inviting.
At Home
In a kitchen or dining room, the collection's versatility comes into its own. Storage baskets organise open shelving as elegantly as they hold fresh linen; the pedestal stand turns an everyday cake into a centrepiece; the ice bucket makes an aperitivo hour feel considered.
Outdoors
Natural rattan was made for natural settings. On a terrace, a garden table, or a shaded veranda, the Radici collection reads as though it has always belonged there — warm against sun-bleached linen, stoneware, and the first pour of a long lunch.
A Complete Language, Piece by Piece
From storage to service to the smallest coaster, every Radici piece is designed to sit together. Start with one, or bring the full collection into a single considered table.
Shop Radici CollectionStyling Notes: Working Rattan Into a Considered Table
- Layer textures, not colours. Rattan's honey-brown tone is neutral enough to sit under white porcelain, natural linen, or dark stoneware — let the material do the work rather than adding competing patterns.
- Mix scale deliberately. Pair the large round storage basket with the small cutlery holder, or the pedestal stand with the flat coasters — contrast in height and footprint keeps a tablescape from feeling flat.
- Designed for Everyday Living. The most cherished objects are the ones we reach for every day. Whether serving breakfast or setting the table for guests, these pieces bring the same sense of warmth, craftsmanship, and occasion to every meal.
- Care is simple. Keep pieces dry, dust with a soft brush, and avoid direct water contact. Rattan rewards gentle, regular care over occasional deep cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is rattan durable enough for regular use, including aboard a yacht?
Yes. Rattan is a naturally strong, flexible fibre that has been used in furniture and serveware for centuries. With the simple care outlined above — keeping it dry and away from prolonged direct sunlight — it holds up well to regular use in both home and yacht settings.
Are the insulated flask and ice bucket genuinely functional, or purely decorative?
Both pieces are fully functional, with an insulated core wrapped in the hand-woven rattan exterior — so you get genuine temperature retention alongside the collection's signature look.
Can these pieces be used outdoors, or are they for indoor use only?
The Radici collection is well suited to covered outdoor settings — terraces, verandas, and shaded deck tables. As with any natural fibre, we recommend avoiding prolonged direct rain or sun exposure, and storing pieces indoors when not in use.
Can Amiramour help curate a full Radici table setting for a yacht or private residence?
Absolutely. We work directly with interior managers, chief stews, and private clients to select and coordinate serveware collections, including full Radici table settings. Please contact our team for tailored recommendations.

The appeal of well-made objects is not found in first impressions alone. It reveals itself slowly, through repeated use and the quiet satisfaction of reaching for the same piece again and again. Long after trends have passed, they continue to feel just as appropriate, carrying the familiarity that only time can create.
