Types of Rattan
Types of Rattan
Round Rattan
This is rattan material with the skin still attached. We handle glossy rattan and pear rattan.
- Glossy rattan
Glossy rattan is strong and hard, making it an ideal material for making large furniture and other pieces that will last a lifetime.
- Pear rattan
This is the base material for pear rattan round core, and it is soft and also suitable for making large furniture and other pieces.
Round core
This is the inner part made by cutting the skin of Pear Rattan, a round rattan.
- Round core, premium grade (AT/AR)
It is a high-quality material with a glossy finish, dense fibers, and durability. It is also soft and easy to weave. The surface of the rattan is carefully processed to minimize splinters. In addition, rattan has the characteristic of becoming softer the more it is bleached, and we have three types of materials available.
*AT is the highest quality, followed by AR.
- Unbleached
Because it is not bleached, you can enjoy the natural luster and off-white color that is unique to rattan as it ages. - Medium bleaching (semi-bleached)
By semi-bleaching the material, it can be handled flexibly as a material that is softer than regular special grade and harder than genuine bleached material. - Bleached wood
Since it is a bleached product with a white skin, it is a material suitable for creating works that involve dyeing. It is also soft, making it suitable for detailed work.
- Round core/thick
Round core The material is quite thick, making it ideal for areas that require thickness and strength, such as bag handles.
