About Burmese Cane Rattan
Burmese Cane Rattan distills a century of Myanmar wickerwork into a design system: trays and underframes woven from split rattan and kyun bamboo into tight honey-to-walnut lattices, finished over a thitsi resin lacquer ground.
The palette spans honeyed rattan to deep walnut cane, lifted by cinnabar yun-lacquer red (hinthabada) and blackened thitsi. The surface is always a visible woven weave — warm, handmade, and saturated, never a flat or cream fill.
