How do they make the products?

Rattan is a sustainable and versatile material and has become increasingly popular in the world of homewares thanks to its durability as well as its unique aesthetic. The process of transforming rattan into stunning pieces of furniture and home accessories begins when the rattan vines are harvested. These vines are carefully selected and extracted, ensuring that the surrounding environment is preserved to allow the rattan vines to continue growing. Once the vines have been harvested they are sorted by size and quality and then transported to the place of manufacturing.

To craft the rattan homewares products and baskets involves a blend of traditional techniques as well as modern technologies and innovations. The skilled artisans begin by cleaning the vines. They can then be used whole, or else stripped of their outer skin to reveal the inner core. The whole canes, stripped canes and also the strips of bark can all be used to weave. Soaking the rattan vines in water makes it pliable and easy to shape. The artisans then weave and bend the rattan into intricate shapes and patterns, forming a wide variety of homeware items such as baskets, chairs, tables and also decorative pieces. After the desired shape is achieved it is then left to dry, helping to maintain the new form.
