Hand Woven Cane

The open, honeycomb weave on our chairs is cane: thin strips cut from the outer skin of the rattan palm. It is woven by hand, strand by strand, in a pattern craftspeople have used for centuries.

Light and alive

Cane lets air and light pass through. A chair with a cane seat or back feels lighter in a room and stays cool to sit on, even in a Spanish summer.

It changes with you

New cane is pale. Over the years it softens with use and slowly takes on a warmer, honey tone. No two pieces age the same way.

Restored by hand

When a piece reaches us with tired or broken cane, it is rewoven by hand in Rajasthan, so the old teak frame can carry on for another lifetime.

Caring for cane

Dust with a soft brush or dry cloth. Now and then, wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it dry naturally. Keep it away from heaters and constant direct sun, which can make it brittle.
