As you, most probably, guessed by the name, seagrass grows under water. The material for seagrass furniture is found in tropical countries like Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Seagrass is a unique material which is used for various types of furniture – tables, dining sets, rugs, sofa sets, lampshades, bookcases, and of course – chairs. Seagrass chairs as patio furniture are the ideal choice if you want to create an elegant looking, romantic and exotic patio with an atmosphere of a tropical resort. Due to the fact that seagrass grows under water, it is completely nonporous and incredibly water-resistant which explains why it is one of the most popular materials for outdoor furniture. Like other natural materials, this material is not harmful to the environment and is also strong and durable, stain-resistant and pleasant to the eyes. The visual appeal is another advantage of seagrass and in combination with the fact that seagrass chairs offer a high level of comfort, they are a logical choice. Seagrass dining chairs, for example, have a relatively lower price tag, yet they are durable and extremely comfortable for modern dining rooms.

Both wicker and seagrass have a beautiful beachy, tropical look, both are lightweight and usually they are sold in same furniture stores. However, wicker can be natural or synthetic. Wicker furniture is woven from different types of materials – cane, rattan, bamboo. The main difference is that seagrass doesn’t need to be treated with anything to be waterproof while weather-resistant wicker is usually made from synthetics. Seagrass grows underwater and wicker and rattan are vines that primarily grow in the rain forests.

The advantage of seagrass – the fact that it is naturally waterproof – can be a disadvantage to some people as it is very difficult to dye and it is almost impossible to find seagrass furniture in a custom color. Seagrass requires a frame, whether wood or metal, while wicker is strong enough to be used without any kind of support. In terms of environmentally awareness, due to the presence of some resin, outdoor wicker is not as environmentally-friendly as seagrass.
