Where the weave begins

1

Material first, never second

Every cane bundle is hand-sorted at the harvest before a single strand enters our workshop.

2

The frame shapes everything

We steam-bend each rattan pole to the chair's final contour, not the other way around.

3

A weave is a conversation

Six hands pass over every fan back before it rests. Each one adds what the last one saw.

4

Finish reveals character

Three coats of natural shellac, sanded between each, until the honey tone breathes through the grain.
