Rattan is a palm plant with a solid, slender, flexible stalk, of variable diameter ranging from several millimeters to a few centimeters.
This material is used for furniture making because of its great durability and elegant appearance. Unlike bamboo, rattan stems are exceptionally suited to a variety of applications.
Shiny rattan outer peel, measuring 5-6 mm. Used to cover furniture joints, to weave large pieces like living room furniture and headboards, and for binding woven work.
Shiny rattan peel measuring 1-2 mm. Used to cover smaller-scale furniture such as headboard and mirror frames, dresser drawer faces, chair backs and wardrobes.
Extracted from rattan’s external skin, it is thicker than ordinary wicker and its color is darker or mottled.
The thickness of each wicker or rattan cane to be woven into furniture is measured in millimeters, from 3-12mm. Thicker canes, up to 33 mm, are used to make such solid pieces as furniture bases and some living room suites.
