The inside of the stems is processed into furniture, baskets, and lamps, among other things, while the outer bark can be cut into fine strips for intricate weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRattan palms need a healthy forest ecosystem to grow well. According to Soeji, the use of rattan can therefore contribute to making the conservation of natural forests economically attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOTERE is handcrafted on \u003cstrong\u003eJava, Indonesia\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make the basket, the rattan fibers are first made flexible with the help of heat.
