Choosing points
- Best for chairs, cabinet doors, partitions, and resort interiors where light natural openness is wanted.
- The open weave reveals shadows and background through the holes.
- Natural cane darkens with age and can dry, split, or sag.
- Edges need a frame or groove to hold the woven sheet.
How it ages
- Dry air, direct sun, heavy pressure, and poor edge fixing can break strands or loosen the weave.
What to avoid
- Do not use woven cane in wet exterior locations or high-load seats without a frame, ventilation, and replaceable panels.
