What is rattan?
Rattan is a plant cultivated in Southeast Asia. Fibrous, solid, and flexible, it attaches to trees and can grow up to 200 meters long.
This natural plant fiber has thorns that protect it from insects and herbivorous animals. Rattan is a flexible yet resistant material that can be easily manipulated.
What color is rattan?
Rattan ranges in color from light yellow to dark brown. This color depends on the variety and the nature of the soil where it is grown. However, the vine can be declined in all sorts of classic or modern colors. It can even be varnished as desired.
What parts of rattan do artisans use?
Professionals use all parts of rattan, including:
-
The bark: its small diameter allows for the creation of raw strips. These will be leveled and then calibrated to produce strips 5 to 6 mm wide. These ribbons are used for caning or creating flat weaving;
-
The cane: once steamed and bent, it is used to make the structure of rattan furniture;
-
The core: like the CANE, once steamed and bent, it is used to make the structure of rattan furniture, which is then referred to as furniture made of peeled rattan.
With a range of styles and shapes, artisans easily find the perfect solution for a quality rattan chair. All Maison Louis Drucker rattan furniture is handcrafted and custom-made by its artisans. You can thus give free rein to your imagination to choose its shape, caning, and colors. Not only will these chairs add a unique touch to your home, but they will also provide comfort and aesthetics.
What is a custom rattan chair?
A custom rattan chair is a chair made to order and custom-built by professional artisans. It is designed to meet the client's needs and is constructed with the highest quality material.
The rattan structure is then filled with weaving, either with natural cane, always honey-colored, or with synthetic fibers of all brilliant or matte colors, or even with a mix of the two: natural or synthetic. The result is a chair that is both elegant and functional according to the client's recommendations.
Why does Maison Louis Drucker use rattan to make custom chairs?
Maison Louis Drucker's DNA is the manufacture of rattan furniture. Rattan became popular with artisans in the 19th century because it is:
- Durable;
- Resistant;
- Biodegradable;
- Ecological;
- Lightweight;
- Easy to manipulate.
Its natural shade, ranging from very pale yellow to very dark brown, does not need to be retouched. However, it can be painted or varnished with the colors of your choice.
To create custom chairs that are both beautiful and functional, our artisans rely on your order and the chosen design. Whether they are large or small chairs, our furniture will fit into your many spaces.
