RATTAN SMALL HAMPER WITH LID Dimensions: 18in (H) x 10in (W) x 14in(L) Rattan is a plant that hangs from palm trees native to the tropics and subtropics. Its places of origin include Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam in South Asia. Many people take one look and think that rattan is bamboo, but its properties are completely different. Bamboo is hollow, but rattan is a collection of fiber layers. Its characteristics are that it is strong, supple and light. The pulpwood has long thorns on its skin. Using those thorns, the rattan grows high and coils around other tall plants in pursuit of sunlight. There are more than 300 types of rattan, with a wide range of thicknesses from approximately 2 mm to 6 cm or more. Some rattan even reaches 200 meters in length. It is also known as “the longest plant on the earth”. The strengths of rattan furniture are that it is light and strong, that “flavor” is produced as the furniture is used close to the body, and that it is easy to repair. The backs of carefully produced baskets, etc. bend to a good degree during use and thus come to fit the body of the user. Rattan, with its excellent softness, flexibility, and workability, can also be freely designed with complex, delicate curves. Its supple and smooth form gives an elegant, gentle impression that cannot be produced with machines. Manufacturing Process of Rattan baskets: 1. WOOD PREPARATION/CUTTING. The right materials are selected from a wealth of materials of differing thickness, hardness, curvature, color, etc. and are cut according to the used parts. 2. CURING. Rattan is a natural material, so bend, curvature and twist naturally exists. Using levers and poles, etc., we correct these materials to make them straight. Boiler steam is sometimes used to steam materials and make them easy to form. 3. BENDING. Rattan is bent while toasting with fire or steaming, and each part is thus produced. 4. SMOOTHING. The surface is prepared by applying a plane or sandpaper to burn marks and scratches. 5. ASSEMBLY. Each part is assembled with nails or wooden screws, etc. and prepared as an entire framework. There is a sense stability because rattan with a thick diameter that is difficult to obtain. 6. WINDING. Rattan peel is wound to reinforce joints and to cover nails/wood screws. 7. BRAIDING. From the central back part, braiding is carried out carefully by hand in line with the framework. Using dampened, softened rattan, subtle curves and textures are produced while assuming a dry state. 8. FINISHING. After braiding, splinters and fine fibers are burnt off with a burner. After coating and final check, spray-coating is applied as finishing to complete the production.
