Viscose derives its name from the viscous liquid. The material is neither truly natural nor truly synthetic, it falls somewhere in between. The raw material for viscose is cellulose, extracted mainly from wood pulp, which is broken down either mechanically or chemically and reformed into fibres. The furniture made of viscose gives a luxurious look yet is quite affordable. Many stores like furniture zone & sleep shop and others are counted amongst best to offer viscose furniture.

Since it is a form of wood based cellulose acetate, it is a renewable resource.
viscose (also known as viscose rayon) is a group of fabrics and yarns produced by extruding cellulose solution through holes in a spinneret, then coagulating the resulting filaments in an acid (the viscose process). There are several different sort of viscose fibres made by modifying this process, eg crimped, hollow, high tenacity (stronger). So viscose rayon is a particular type of cellulose fibre made using the viscose process, and it's also often called just 'viscose' or just 'rayon', because it's the commonest kind of rayon. Other kinds of rayon are cuprammonium rayon and acetate rayon.
Cellophane is a type of transparent sheet made from regenerated cellulose. The cellulose solution is dissolved in alkali and carbon disulfide, turning it into viscose. The viscose is then converted back to cellulose.
No. Viscose is a man-made fibre, made from regenerated wool cellulose. Wool is fabricated from animal fleece.
Cellulose acetate is easily wetted.
Yes. Technically it usually refers to viscose cellulose nitrate (Rayon).
Viscose is a type of cellulose fiber that has been around since the early 1900's. Yes, viscose is biodegradable and it can be dyed easily.

Viscose rayon is a man-made fiber made from wood pulp though other materials may be used. It is basically modified cellulose. Viscose is very similar to cotton and silk. (Cotton is also made of cellulose). Viscose falls somewhere in between a natural fiber and a man-made one. The raw material for viscose is cellulose which is usually reacted with caustic soda and carbon disulfide. It is reformed as fibers by spinning this viscose solution in an acid bath. Viscose rayon has a silky appearance and feel, and also has the ability to breathe in a manner similar to cotton weaves.
