Malawi Furniture Cane Chairs made in Malawi, Hand-woven.

Malawi craftsmen have really perfected these traditional designs in recent years. The artisans first build a frame, for the chair, using wood from a blue gum tree. Each chair contains natural cane fibre, bamboo and blue gum. Blue gum is locally-available and is used over many platforms due to its strength.

Caring for your Malawi Cane Furniture

Sunlight

Keep cane out of direct sunlight and heat in order to prevent it from getting brittle over time. Sealing the cane using a high-oil content furniture polish keeps the cane supple. Lemon oil or mineral oil (used sparingly) applied to the cane furniture once a year is sufficient to keep it maintained.

Sealant

We highly recommend sealing your cane with our UV resistant and water-resistant sealant in order to prolong the life of your furniture. Our unique Hydrolux sealer is specially formulated to strengthen your cane and maintain the light colour while outdoors.

Rain & Damp

Keep your cane covered and out of rainy, humid conditions. Keeping cane in these damp conditions may result in the cane becoming dark, dull and sometimes mouldy. If your cane develops dark mouldy spots, simply use soapy water and a scrubbing brush to remove.

Weight

Distribute the weight evenly. Cane furniture is designed to be used in a for sitting on, and not suitable for concentrated weight. Never kneel or stand on the cane furniture as this may cause the woven cane to split or break.

Cushions

A cushion makes our already comfortable cane furniture even more luxurious. A cushion is also used to distribute a users weight evenly, thereby saving the individual strands from having to carry the weight. This results in the furniture having an overall longer life.
