The Best of Two Worlds | Made Goods’ Oriana & Bessette Collections

Natural Texture Meets Modern Transparency

Some pairings work because they have so much in common. Others work because they don’t.

Made Goods’ new Oriana and Bessette collections fall decidedly into the latter category, bringing together the warmth and tradition of woven rattan with the clean, contemporary clarity of acrylic. One material celebrates texture, craftsmanship, and natural variation. The other nearly disappears. Together, they create furniture that feels fresh, dimensional, and surprisingly versatile.

It’s the best of two very different design worlds, and proof that opposites can make exceptional partners.

Clearly Unexpected

Rattan has long been a favorite for bringing warmth and organic texture into an interior. Acrylic offers something entirely different: transparency, lightness, and an unmistakably modern edge.

Oriana and Bessette play with that contrast rather than trying to disguise it. Clear acrylic interrupts stretches of natural rattan, allowing portions of each silhouette to seemingly disappear. Traditional wrapping techniques become decorative details. Familiar furniture forms feel lighter and less expected.

The effect is almost an optical illusion. Look once and you notice the rattan. Look again and you begin to appreciate everything that isn’t there.

Oriana Side Table | A Perfect Illusion

With the Oriana Side Table, two woven rattan shelves appear to float effortlessly beside a sofa or chair.

Clear acrylic forms much of the table’s framework, while wrapped rattan punctuates the corners and joints. Those carefully placed natural details do more than provide contrast. They draw attention to the table’s construction while allowing the acrylic sections between them to visually recede.

The result has the practicality of a two-tier table without the visual weight typically associated with one. There is plenty of room for a lamp, books, or favorite objects, yet Oriana maintains an open, airy presence.

Oriana Coffee Table | Lighten Up

The Oriana Coffee Table stretches the same material story across a larger scale.

Two woven rattan surfaces introduce natural texture and useful display space, while polished acrylic sections create an intriguing sense of separation between them. Rattan wrapping highlights the table’s joints and edges, turning its construction into part of the design.

Despite its generous proportions, the transparent framework keeps the table visually light. It can anchor a seating arrangement without overwhelming it, offering designers an especially interesting way to introduce texture into a room where a more substantial coffee table might feel too heavy.

Oriana Mirror | A New Reflection

The interplay between rattan and acrylic moves from furniture to the wall with the Oriana Mirror.

Its clean rectangular shape is framed by alternating stretches of clear acrylic and woven rattan, with warm natural wrapping emphasizing the corners and transitions. Because portions of the frame seem to disappear against the wall, the rattan details take on an almost floating quality of their own.

The combination offers an unexpected alternative to a conventional wood or metal frame and makes Oriana as much a decorative element as a functional mirror.

Meet Bessette

Where Oriana explores clean lines and layered surfaces, Bessette brings curves, crossings, and a little more movement into the mix.

Rattan bends and intersects throughout the collection, while clear acrylic breaks up the framework in unexpected places. The juxtaposition makes traditional rattan construction feel distinctly current, giving Bessette a personality that can move comfortably between classic and contemporary interiors.

Bessette Side Table | A Round of Elegance

Curves take center stage with the Bessette Side Table.

Its round woven top is supported by an expressive framework of rattan and clear acrylic, with crossing supports adding movement beneath the surface. Rounded outer rails soften the silhouette further, creating a piece that feels graceful from every angle.

The transparent sections keep all of that detail from becoming visually busy. Instead, the table offers an airy framework for its woven texture, bringing warmth to a room without weighing it down.

Bessette Dining Chair | A Clear Classic

The Bessette Dining Chair takes a familiar rattan vocabulary and gives it a modern twist.

Woven rattan crosses the back in a graphic lattice, while strategically placed acrylic sections interrupt the frame and create an unexpected sense of openness. Curved rattan details soften the base, balancing the geometry above.

An upholstered seat adds comfort and another opportunity for personalization. Available in Made Goods fabrics and leathers or COM, the cushion allows designers to take Bessette in entirely different directions, from understated and tonal to colorful and patterned.

It’s a chair that can nod to tradition without ever feeling bound by it.

Bessette Counter Stool | Raising the Bar

The Bessette Counter Stool brings that same interplay of materials to a taller silhouette.

Clear acrylic, wrapped rattan, a woven lattice back, and graceful curves create interest from top to bottom. The height gives the contrasting materials even more opportunity to make an impression, while the open framework prevents the stool from feeling bulky around a kitchen island or counter.

Like the dining chair, its upholstered cushion can be specified in Made Goods fabrics or leathers, or customized with COM, creating even more possibilities for incorporating Bessette into a project.

Bessette Coffee Table | Coming Full Circle

The Bessette Coffee Table brings the collection’s curves into a larger statement piece.

A woven round top establishes warmth and texture, while rattan loops, crossing supports, and clear acrylic sections create a layered framework underneath. Every angle reveals a slightly different relationship between the two materials.

Despite the intricacy of its construction, the transparent elements give the table an openness that keeps the silhouette feeling light. It’s substantial enough to command the center of a seating arrangement, but airy enough to let the rest of the room breathe.

Better Together

Oriana and Bessette make a compelling case for looking beyond the expected boundaries of a material.

Rattan doesn’t have to feel purely traditional. Acrylic doesn’t have to feel starkly contemporary. Put the two together, and each changes the way we see the other. Acrylic gives rattan a lighter, more modern presence, while rattan lends warmth and craftsmanship to acrylic’s polished clarity.

The result is a pair of collections that can bridge styles just as easily as they bridge materials.

Warm and cool. Natural and polished. Traditional and modern. Sometimes the best design really does come from having it both ways.
