The company “Rotin Filé” is one of those companies that are the pride of the Ain Department!

Christophe Clerc welcomed us for a few hours in the company created in 1937 by Eugène Gaude, and introduced us to a unique plant world which today delights all the artisans and individuals in France (and around the world!) who devote themselves to basketry, canework and remapping. Historically, Rotin Filé purchases/resells raw rattan, a plant material from Indonesia, visually similar to bamboo, but with unique properties, allowing almost limitless work with the material to create all types of furniture and decoration. Thus, professionals and individuals passionate about or curious about basketry place orders and train in the techniques of yesterday and today thanks to the various courses offered by Rotin Filé throughout the year. Today, the company shows its intention to make itself better known to the general public, by offering a showroom of very trendy furniture, entirely made with the raw materials it offers to its customers (rattan, cane, straw , drink). We also discover fascinating ancestral decorative art techniques, enough to make you want to stay there all morning... even being tempted to order your own stock and try it!
