Cane accent chairs conjure up visuals of Miami’s golden era and quaint cottages on the California coast. I’ll go out on a limb and say that few pieces of furniture are as classic or charming. Their woven rattan material has been around for quite some time — since the 17th century, in fact — but cane accent chairs surged back to popularity in the 1970s and 80s. You might feel nostalgic for the seats yourself (I know I do, and I wasn’t even alive then!).
It’s tricky to dream up seating that won’t lose its appeal — the super funky, trendy piece you initially adored on Instagram? Yeah, maybe not so cute in a couple of years. But cane accent chairs are, in a word, timeless — which is why I’m thrilled they’re having another moment.
