Cane weave has been used in an almost unchanged form since the revival of the technique at the turn of the twentieth century. Chairs made from bent wood with cane seats or backrests are light, airy and comfortable to sit on, especially in the summer. The cane weave is made from purely natural material, is easy to maintain and can be
renovated at any time. Today, ready-made cane sheets are used instead of hand-weaving. These are made from the inner part of the stem of rattan liana from the forests of Southeast Asia. Before being processed, the cane sheet is moistened to become flexible and then it is pressed into a groove in the seat or backrest by twisted rattan strings. Drying up, the weave shrinks back to its original size. Rattan fibres naturally split and fray. However, during the processing, the weave surface is cleaned up with a special electric machine. To increase the strength and durability of natural cane weave, we recommend application of additional plastic weave (netting). The netting is stable, holds its shape and prevents excessive stretching of the cane weave on the seat, which may eventually lead to rupture. The additional weave can only be used on the seat. We offer the netting in black colour for a surcharge specified in the price list. |
