Just check out these stylish and modern cube wicker chairs, for example. Seen at Coastal Living.
Wicker is an ancient technique used to manufacture items out of natural materials which when made wet can be easily woven. However, real wicker is not known for its longevity in an outdoor environment. So the wicker furniture of today is made out of a resin to withstand the elements.

But wicker furniture is no longer considered outdoor only furniture, and I'm particularly inspired by indoor wicker furniture. Via My Home Ideas.

According to New England Home Magazine these comfy and generous wicker chairs are made from woven water-hyacinth. They might come from the islands off the shores of Bali where water hyacinth seagrass grows wild and is used to make everything from baskets to furniture.

I think outdoor and indoor wicker furniture has never looked better. Or is it just me?

I have wicker on the patio, but would love it in my living room.
I had a wicker desk, chair, arched bookcase and stoage chest when I first lived on my own after high school. Kept those pieces for quite some time too.
They are so fresh looking all the time. Love how versatile they are from room to room in decor.
I went through a stage where I bought a lot of antique wicker and loved it at the time. It wasn't very comfortable though and it snagged everyone's clothing. I only kept a couple of pieces and sold the rest many years ago. The new wickers are gorgeous. I love the first picture...and the wicker is smoother and cushioned well. Love it all.
As for my reunion...I'm sure I'll be nervous going in. I really hate the feeling of not knowing who people are and I know just from Facebook that many have changed so much I won't recognize them. I don't want be rude, but we are going to have name tags which will help.
I love wicker! Great choices!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I always enjoy reading yours since I'm such a "Coastal" fan! I bought a wicker sofa and chair at an estate sale last summer and I think what people sometimes don't realize is that it's so comfortable. Just the right amount of give. Now if the replacement cushions weren't so darn expensive it would be perfect!
