Family firm creating great places to be sitting

From humble beginnings, Daro was born. Formed in 1972 by Brother-in laws (Da)vid Brown and (Ro)ger Rideout from a traditional market stall set up, they began their journey with the sales of traditional rush matting and rattan home accessories such as: waste bins and log baskets. This year Daro Celebrates it’s 50th Anniversary.

Market Stall

Cane and rattan is a popular material for use in furniture production because it won’t fade, is eco-friendly, easy to clean, lightweight and is highly flexible so it can be manipulated into many shapes when steamed during the manufacturing process. The trend for cane and rattan furniture ensued, so Daro progressed into developing a range of occasional furniture that could be used in sunrooms and a new phenomenon called a Conservatory.  Over the years, Daro continued to expand their product offering in tandem with the Conservatory market to develop an ever increasingly comfortable collection of conservatory furniture.

In 2003, Daro extended their skills of producing high quality indoor woven furniture by creating a range of outdoor lounging and dining products.

Today, Daro continues to be a family run business and is the United Kingdom’s leading name in woven furniture.  Our incredibly popular product portfolio features a comprehensive selection of ranges designed to accommodate both the traditional and modern home and garden.

All of our frames are beautifully handcrafted in Indonesia using a variety of high quality cane and rattan materials. All our cushions and soft furnishings are manufactured in our UK soft furnishings factory using high grade fabrics in a vast array of colours and patterns on a made-to-order basis.
