Karuun is an innovative and sustainable material developed from the transformation of rattan, a climbing plant that grows in the tropical forests of Indonesia.
The process that modifies the natural structure of the rattan, makes it a more stable, resistant and flexible material, showcasing an original aesthetics and an astonishingly low weight.
Since its launch in 2018, karuun®, which means “treasure” in the local language, attracted interest from various industrial sectors, which have adopted it for the production of ecological and high quality products.
Karuun offers a valid alternative to plastic shells and covers, with the advantage of being a natural, renewable and biodegradable material.
The material has found applications in sustainable architecture, product and furniture design, sporting goods and electronic devices. Thanks to its properties, it can satisfy both functional and aesthetic needs in these areas.
Karuun® is a unique solution that harmoniously combines nature and design, adding a touch of natural sophistication to your project.
Karuun® stripe consists of thin strips of rattan glued onto a flexible support, which can be bent and shaped as needed, thus perfect for covering rounded or curved surfaces or creating postforming elements.
Rattan’s natural linear grain is enhanced by custom coloring options, not only amplifying the material’s visual impact but also minimising visible seams, which are tricky to avoid when jointing rattan veneer. It is available in a wide range of individual color variations, serving as an inspiration for architects, interior designers, furniture manufacturers, and industrial designers.
From warm earth tones to cool pastel shades, this color collection offers versatile options for various applications, both residential and industrial.
Karuun®, known as engineered rattan, proves to be a really versatile material that combines nature and technology, offering innovative and sustainable solutions for different industrial sectors. It represents a real challenge to the dominance of plastics for certain uses, demonstrating that it is possible to create high quality products with respect for the environment and people.
