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.

TOLKNING
905.126.66The versatile TOLKNING series is made of natural fibres with a warm look. This footstool has a secret – it loves a clutter-free home and offers not only an extra seat but also a convenient storage solution.
More information
Skilled craftspeople have woven the product by hand, so each one is one of a kind.
You can use the footstool in many ways – as a footrest, extra seating, or as a table if you place a tray on top.
More than just a spare seat or decorative piece, this footstool also has a convenient storage space.
Rattan is a natural material which ages beautifully and develops its own unique character over time.
Ratings and reviews
Not recommendZhekangThe product color does not match the pictures. The actual color is much lighter than expected.
In addition, the material feels quite rough. For bamboo/wood products like this, it is generally expected that the surface would be properly treated (e.g., soaked and polished) to make it smooth. However, this item was not well-finished.
When I sat on it, my skin was scratched multiple times by small splinters sticking out.
Overall, I’m not satisfied with the material quality and finish
Pink, not as it looks in photos LoreenaIt seems well made and everything but the colour is different than photos
Sturdy and has great storage Anonymous reviewerLovely quality and style, and it requires next to zero assembly! Has more storage room than I expected and it’s at a great price point.
Love this purchase, but a question …JaniceI love this ottoman, but - there are several little posts that prevent the lid from being flush with the base. Should they be removed?

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.
