Manufacturing of rattan furniture
Rattan is solid, in opposition to hollow bamboo, and is
therefore bendable. When steamed for 10-15 minutes,
rattan can be formed by hand using old traditional
manufacturing techniques and a few simple tools. In our
rattan production there is no waste, as all residues can be
used as fuel for the steam ovens.
Our most detailed furniture, such as the Rossini chair
and Carlo bar trolley, are so advanced that only a limited
number of our craftsmen are able to make these. Other
pieces require great patience like our Hanging Egg chair,
which takes one person, one week to make.
