These materials have been spotted in some new designs that are both classically derived and modern. Ahead, 10 pieces, from furniture to  accessories that lend a lightness of being.

This woven bed, The Corbin, made from banana leaf has a casual feel and never goes out of style. I love its clean lines that would suit a summery or country setting. Available from Pottery Barn, with or without the footboard, which in this case, I prefer. 

A chair that folds in a snap that is easy to relax in? All good. Serena and Lily's Palisades Chair is for a "refined beach" moment. 

Soane's stylish Conservatory Chair, based on an original French 40's design retains the perfect scale and pitch of the refined original rush version

Dipped in white, Serena and Lily's Two-Toned Rattan Lantern makes for great mood lighting, complete with a carrying handle and lined in a glass hurricane to keep the flame from burning out. Lining a walkway with these would create a little night magic on a summers eve.

Let's not leave out the classic wicker summer item- the picnic basket. With two separate openings on the lid, Williams Sonoma's rattan and wood-handled version can handle a lot inside
