Wicker and cane furniture has always been in use in the world since 2000 BC by the Japanese and Chinese .They have used this plant for various purposes including eating the shoots, as ornamental's and also making baskets and furniture too. Wicker and cane are interchangeably used and the difference between them is that, cane is actually the outer layer of bark of the bamboo plant and once the thorny exterior layer is removed, the cane is processed into different sized strips that are then used for making furniture, baskets and other items.

They make wonderful pieces of furniture either as full sets like sofas, or divans sets or the two piece chair sets which make for a pleasant look in your living spaces which come with the matching coffee tables and side tables.


The hanging cane swing baskets come in cute designs which give an almost like a nest like feeling which can be put in your balcony.


They can also come like standalone pieces where you could place them in your balcony or sit outs .The are cozy and comfortable and don’t occupy too much space. Place bamboo or ornamental palm plants along with the furniture for that clean green look, and add a bamboo mat on the floor too.


It’s also very easy to maintain them- If you are placing them outside they turn to fade very easily .You could clean them with brushes in the inner woven places and have them polished periodically when they turn dull.
