If you are wondering why there's suddenly an interest in Chandigarh chairs or why cane has quietly made a comeback, it's because everyone, from a layperson to an influencer, is getting on the vintage meets contemporary design aesthetic bandwagon. But before we dive into the brands that create amazing furniture with cane, rattan, and feature wickerwork, here's a quick 101.
Wicker: It refers to natural (or synthetic) grass such as rattan, cane, bamboo or reed that's woven around metal or wood to create wickerwork products.
Rattan: It's a type of palm tree that grows like a tree but falls over and sprawls on the ground, like a huge wooden creeper.
Cane: It's part of the rattan plant, and you get it by removing the skin from the rattan plant.
In a nutshell, in the furniture context, not all rattan furniture is cane furniture, not all wicker furniture is rattan, and not all rattan furniture is wicker.
