RATTAN AND ARTFIBRE
Rattan is a natural climbing plant that grows in the Indonesian
rainforest. Rattan have been known to grow up to a hundred meters
long. Rattan grows naturally without disturbing the existing structure
and balance in the rainforest. Rattan is strong, lightweight, fexible,
and durable.
ArtFibre is an artifcial fbre made of dyed and hardwearing
polyethylene. It can withstand the sun’s burning UV-rays, heavy rain
and even frost. ArtFibre is the material we use for the bindings and
weaving of the seat and back of our Afäire café furniture pieces.
Te combination of natural rattan and ArtFibre provides fexibility,
strength and optimum comfort.
AFFÄIRE COLLECTION USED OUTSIDE
Our Afäire café chairs are made of raw natural sustainable rattan
and can be used outside in covered areas. Te chairs can stand a short
shower, but not daily rain, and must be stored inside during winter
time.
When used outside the raw natural rattan frame will turn greyish like
teak, afer a few months use.
We recommend that you clean our Afäire café chairs with a brush
and warm water 2-3 times during the summer season to keep the raw
natural rattan frame clean from dirt.
