When each natural fibre is treated right, it can be transformed into almost anything. “We can create products that are as beautiful as functional. It’s impossible to manufacture two that look exactly the same since every natural fibre shifts in colour and texture. On the other hand, customers get something unique with lots of character,” says Kristin.

Product details
Skilled craftspeople have woven the product by hand, so each one is one of a kind
Rattan is a natural material which ages beautifully and develops its own unique character over time.
The material brings a piece of nature into your home and spreads a calm, warm feeling.
You can buy several headboards and place them together to create a larger headboard.
No need to worry about marks on the wall, since the back of the headboard has a small bumper made of jute to prevent scratches.
The headboard is free-standing, so you don´t need to fix it to the wall.
The legs of the headboard are designed to fit walls both with and without a skirting board.

Ratings and reviews
Simple, natural lookWendyVery simple-looking, but gives a calming feel. Rattan is rough, but for an adult bed it's good. Getting it situated right so it's not damaging wall but not wobbling is tricky but I'm happy with it!
Beautiful colour and sturdy weaving. JenniferThis product comes just as described. It looks beautiful in our space and it is what we wanted. My only complaint is the lack of ease to attach two of them together and then to the bed. It’s not always a flat wall that they are against so we used zip ties to attach them to our frame and to each other.
Any easy updateTriciaThis was quick to install and made a really nice improvement to my bedroom. It looks great.
Tolkning Twin Head BoardEileenThe head board was bought to use on an adjustable bed and it looks fabulous, It is not heavy, and easy to set up.
Price is ok... I think alittle highter than it needs to be but it was the look I was looking for so I am very pleased.
Measurements not AccurateChloeSturdy product, but measurements in the description and the photo aren't accurate. 100cm is 39 inches, not 49.5 inches as posted in the ad. I bought this product believing it was 49.5 inches in length, when in fact it's smaller. Doesn't fit my full-sized bed entirely.
Check Measurements in Description, Not PhotoChloeSturdy product, but measurements in the description and the photo are different. Doesn't fit my full-sized bed entirely.
amazing!!NickLove this headboard! one is like a twin size for reference so we just needed one for daughter's twin bed it's very sweet

Story
Invite nature into your home
When we developed TOLKNING, we worked with experienced artisans. The result is a decorative and multi-functional series of natural fibre products that carry warmth, a unique expression and lots of character.
Simi Gauba and Kristin Pfannenschmidt are two of our product developers who are based in Vietnam and work a lot with natural fibres. “When we created TOLKNING, we got help from skilled artisans who know the strengths and weaknesses of the material,” says Simi. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to offer these products to our customers.”
Form and function hand in hand
Cooperation between man and nature
Simi says that working with natural fibres can be challenging, but that is also a part of the charm. “The TOLKNING series reflects a heritage that is worth preserving – man and nature together and skills passed on from generation to generation. I think that’s one of the reasons why these kinds of products are so loved. They have a soul and warmth that many people like – perfect if you want to add genuine materials and natural beauty to your home.”
Material
What is rattan?
Rattan is a climbing plant belonging to the palm tree family. It grows as a vine on tree trunks, its fast-growing tendrils easily reaching 60, and sometimes more than 300, feet long. They can be harvested without harming the host trees and grow back quickly once harvested. We use this lightweight, flexible and durable material in products like armchairs, rocking chairs, side tables, outdoor furniture and for handmade baskets.

Designer thoughts
“My idea with the TOLKNING series was to create sustainable products made from natural fibres that could be used in different ways and in several places throughout the home. I started with my Scandinavian heritage and, in combination with the knowhow and professional skills of craftspeople, the unique products took shape – made by people and for people. I hope they will be useful, bring you joy and make you feel proud about making a conscious choice."
