Timeless furniture
The combination of Danish design and skilled craftsmanship helps to create the framework for strongand timeless furniture that can be inherited for several generations. In this way, it is a sustainable design in terms of material choice and long durability.
Rattan is for indoor use only. Rattan requires minimal cleaning and almost no maintenance. The cleaning of rattan furniture is done simply with a wet cloth once the furniture is dusty. We recommend cleaning the furniture once a year, with white soap flakes, lukewarm water and a cloth.
Rattan is an incredibly fast-growing plant and a very sustainable,natural material. The outer layer can be peeled off and used for weaving, where the core of the rattan is used for furniture, which with its durable and flexible material, makes it possible to create a unique comfort with unique shapes.
Production of rattan furniture in Indonesia
Cane-line has production facilities in Indonesia, where rattan grows nearby. Having the entire production chain, Cane-lineensures that production meets the requirements of both the environment, the local community and the well-being of the employees.
The Indonesians have a long traditionand experience in processing and weaving the material rattan, and this is also one of the reasonswhyCane-line design team andour external designers have succeeded so well in developing rattan furniture that has both a beautiful design and top quality craftsmanship.
Rattan is not bamboo
Many people confuse rattan with bamboo. However, rattan is a much more durable material that can be bent and is solid, whereas bamboo is hollow and less durable. Rattan is a material only for indoors.Therefore Cane-line has developed a material called “Cane-line Weave®”, which is a fiber material designed to look like exactly like rattan - the onlydifference is that the Cane-line Weave material is developed for outdoor use but you get the look of the natural rattan.
