ABSTRACT:
An improved support area for use with rattan furniture. The present invention provides a frame, a seat contact portion, and a back contact portion. In various embodiments, the chair includes a seat cushion that is supported by a seat support portion of the frame. The seat cushion is covered on its outside by a rattan outer layer that is attached to the seat support structure such that the rattan outer layer conforms to the shape of the seat cushion and the presence of the seat cushion is obscured by the rattan outer layer. In other embodiments, the back support portion may include a similarly configured back cushion. As a result, the present invention has the appearance and aesthetic appeal of a typical article of rattan furniture, having rattan seat and back surfaces, however the present invention provides a level of comfort that is not typically provided by rattan seat and/or back surfaces.
