Weaving is an old handicraft, but basketware has never gone out of fashion. After all, renewable raw materials, the environment and furniture made of natural material are an important topic. Many rehab facilities offer weaving with rattan, as it trains the mobility and motor skills of hands and fingers and also contributes to relaxation. You will find with us rattan reed of a great first-class red ribbon quality, in various widths, as well as pre-drilled MDF basket bottoms, rattan splints and rattan. The instructions and examples of handicrafts can be found on the Internet. Before processing, the rattan reed should always be soaked to make it elastic for braiding. The rattan is extracted from the tropical climbing palm Calamus Rotang. The spiny outer spathe is removed after harvesting and the inner spathe is used to make the reed which is flat on both sides. It is used especially for robust wickerwork on furniture and traditionally as Viennese or octagonal wickerwork for new chairs or for repairs. From the next layer, curved on one side, are made the rattan splints. These are also often used to cover smooth furniture parts (cupboard doors, radiator cabinets). The rattan, as we know it, originates from the core of the plant and is round.
