About Rattan

Rattan is a beautiful material for making furniture that naturally grows in very long canes perfect for weaving. To create a piece of furniture, the canes are cut down and then the long bundles are soaked in water for a few weeks to produce this lovely aged, warm grey colour known locally as 'kubu'. It is a very strong material that is perfect for making lightweight yet very sturdy pieces.

Rattan Care
As a natural material, rattan is sensitive to its environment and a little bit of care and attention will keep it at its best.

• Keep your rattan chairs out of direct sunlight and do not keep it where it can get wet from rain. The sun can cause the colour of the rattan to change and it can also cause it to dry and split.
• Brush your rattan on a regular basis to remove dust and prevent the growth of mildew. If you live in a humid climate, make sure to do this more often. Using a brush allows you to get into the gaps in the weaving to keep the chair free of dust and dirt.
• To clean your rattan chairs, simple wipe them down with a damp (not wet) cloth dipped in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Do not over wet the rattan chairs and do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives. Make sure it can dry quickly.
• If something is spilled on the chairs, clean it straight away. Colours from the spill can be absorbed into the natural material so don't leave it.
• As a handwoven item, if you notice any rattan canes or poles on the chairs that have become unwoven, simply slip them back into their original position by hand.

Some variations in the canes used in the weaving of the chairs are to be expected as it is a natural material. These are not considered imperfections but are inherent to the character of a natural handwoven product.
