Cane work - a natural material

Material. Cane work, also called rattan, is a vine that grows in the tropical virgin forests of Indonesia. It is considered an especially robust material. Cane has many ecological advantages: it has the quality and resistance of nature, and the plants quickly grow back. We purchase the woven mats, cut them apart and carefully, manually insert them in the wood frames of seats and backrests.

Care. Natural materials need special attention. The cane work should be dampened on both sides on a regular basis in order to preserve its elasticity - this is especially important in dry or air-conditioned rooms. Sustained dryness makes the natural material brittle and prone to cracking. Soiled spots can be cleaned with a damp cloth and soft soap. If filaments come off, they can be reattached with glue. Strong concentrated stress to the cane work should be absolutely avoided.

New. For chairs that are subjected to harsh stress, we have developed a new procedure: a highly durable, transparent and barely visible plastic netting is stretched beneath the natural cane work. You can recognize this version by the "V" added to the model number.

Repair service. Should the cane work of your chair get damaged due to harsh stress it can be professionally exchanged in our service unit. Please contact your specialist retailer or our service team, e-mail info@thonet.eu
