These woven chairs from Martha Stewart are on sale for Memorial Day, and they tap into the '70s trend that is taking over our outdoor spaces


The year 2025 has brought a resurgence of silhouettes and materials from the 1970s. Rattan furniture, especially when arranged on the patio, is one of the most eternally popular (and currently trendy) styles popularized by this era. It shows no signs of slowing down.
'We love to see the rattan furniture trend going into 2025,' explains Nicola Shaw, Senior Head of Homeware Buying at Urban Outfitters. 'With indoor/outdoor style staying key, rattan continues to be a timeless investment that can fit effortlessly into every space, no matter the size. The beauty of rattan is that its raw material makes it easy for you to match it to your vibe.'
If you're as in love with the rattan interior design trend as we are, you're in luck. Martha Stewart has designed the perfect outdoor dining chair for replicating the look in any home. Enter: the Martha Stewart Bedford Outdoor Rattan Wicker Stackable Side Dining Chairs, hiding quietly on Wayfair.
These chairs are the ideal upgrade to your patio furniture this summer. They are made of weather-proof polyethylene wicker and designed to stack, making them easy to store over the winter. Plus, they're 12% off for Memorial Day, bringing the chairs to under $110 each.
If you're not convinced yet, know that it's the chicest base for all your summer table decor ideas.
Nicola explains: 'It’s interesting to see how these 70s-inspired pieces are starting to move out of the bedroom and into the dining room, from bar cabinets to lighting, it adds texture and warmth to every room.'
What's the best way to style the '70s trend? Nicola advises: 'Use soft textiles such as cushions on dining furniture to complement the weaved styles and add plants to bring more natural colour to your surroundings… plants + rattan = our dream combo.
