Rattan weaving & webbing

Rattan caning, a story of material

Rattan caning rolls reproduce the traditional hexagonal pattern of hand-woven caning, but in a ready-to-fit form that makes this craft accessible to all. Where strand-by-strand weaving once took years to master, this roll lets anyone bring a chair or armchair back to life, without sacrificing the authenticity of the pattern or the quality of the fibre.

Our rattan caning: uses and applications

Our natural weaving and caning range offers this rattan caning roll in several widths and colours, to suit the frame being fitted. It is mainly used for restoring antique chairs, armchairs and benches, but is also popular for more contemporary decoration projects: cabinet doors, wall panels or openwork partitions. For a finer finish, our rattan core weaving completes this range.

Choosing and fitting your rattan caning

Your choice of width depends on the surface to be covered and the pattern density you want. Before fitting, a light soak in water softens the roll and makes it easier to tension onto a pre-drilled or grooved frame. Once fitted and dried, the caning regains its original tension and requires only minimal care, kept away from moisture and direct UV.
