Rattan and Wicker: The Skeleton of Furniture

A set of furniture woven from rattan and willow. A round-backed rattan armchair, a wicker side table or storage box, and a rattan lampshade. The woven strips are about half a centimeter to one centimeter wide, in natural light honey to light brown colors with uneven color variations. The weaving method shows subtle handmade variations, with some areas slightly loose. The surface is not painted, only protected with clear varnish. Avoid: using plastic imitation rattan weaving, using rattan dyed white or dark colors, making the weaving too regular like a machine-made product, using rattan weaving on more than three or four pieces of furniture.

一組藤與柳條編成的家具。一張圓背的藤編扶手椅、一個柳條編的邊几或收納箱、一盞藤編的燈罩。編織的條寬約半公分到一公分,顏色是自然的淺蜂蜜到淺褐,有不均勻的色差;編法可以看出手工的細微變化,有些地方略鬆。表面沒有上漆,只有清漆保護。避免:使用塑膠仿藤的編織、使用染成白色與深色的藤、讓編織過於工整像機器做的、把藤編用在超過三四件家具上。
