Top quality, fantastic value cane furniture for every budget

It can be difficult for a person to tell the difference between cane furniture, wicker furniture and rattan furniture. Cane itself is mainly used as conservatory furniture; it has a good reputation for being strong and durable. Some popular pieces of cane furniture are cane sofas, cane tables and, of course, any of these pieces can be used in any room.

What most people do not realise is that cane is the stem of a rattan vine; its joints meet the palm leaf of the plant. New vines have to be left to develop and grow for up to 15 years, before being strong enough to be cut and used for Cane furniture.

In South East Asia, you will find cane being used as scaffolding for buildings, the same way that builders in this country use metal scaffolding. Rattan is the solid core found at the bottom of a vine, which means it is also an ideal choice as a material for manufacturing rattan furniture.

Rattan conservatory furniture, or outdoor rattan garden furniture, is growing in popularity with homeowners who want to use their furniture throughout the year. Wicker is a type of weave and you will hear many times the term ‘wickerwork’ being used, which is simply the name of the weave. Wicker conservatory furniture shows off its intricate weave – the darker colour of the weave looks absolutely wonderful with an array of bright seat cushions.

At 1st For Cane, we have a wide range of Cane, Rattan and Wicker furniture available.

The Timeless Look Of Cane Furniture

Cane furniture has become popular with homeowners with its timeless look. A conservatory looks complete with a beautiful conservatory suite made out of cane.

Modern living is enhanced with the fashionable designs that are available in today’s marketplace. Cane is recognised as a natural material, ideal for indoor and outdoor living.

Homeowners and businesses recognise cane furniture has become popular, and there are benefits of using beautiful designer pieces in both homes and the receptions areas of hotels and offices.

Cane first starts its journey as a raw material. Tough and durable, it’s an ideal material that is versatile enough to be used as flooring and other individual house accessories.

The material allows manufacturers to continue to update and modify designs to keep up with the styles that homeowners expect for their home.

Once a palm has been harvested the ‘sap’ is removed to allow the material be more flexible for a craftsman to mould it into various shapes.

The next stage is to split the material into strips ready for intertwining around much larger canes that are the framework of the furniture. The end result is a piece of beautiful cane furniture that will compliment a home or garden.

It is important to point out that cane furniture is completely environmentally friendly. Cane is a natural product and is made without the addition of chemicals or wood treatment.

At 1st for Cane we have a wide range of Cane furniture suitable for home and office.

Have you ever had the urge to stop everything that you are doing within the home and sit down with a nice cup of tea and a magazine to relax your tired feet?

One of the most comfortable choices of furniture that you can sit on is one that is made from cane. Furniture that is made from cane or wicker can complement any room in the house. The most popular pieces that are known to be comfortable to sit on are the wicker rocker chairs. A wicker rocker chair snuggles up to a person as they curl up to read a book or sit and daydream for a few minutes.

Looking out of a bright and airy window when the weather is cold and wet gives you that sense of comfort that is essential in any home. If you sit on any piece of wicker furniture during the summer months and the weather outside is lovely and hot, you will need to make sure it is moved it away from the window when you get up. Cane furniture will suffer from direct sunlight as it can dry up the natural fibres. The result is that your cane furniture can start to show signs of splitting.

If you are designing a new conservatory and you want to furnish it so that existing home accessories will match, you can choose cane furniture which is available in a modern or a traditional design.

Wicker furniture is easily maintained and will last for many years. At 1st for Cane we have a wide range of desirable cane furniture to suit all tastes.
