What is cane furniture?
Caning is an ancient technique that involves weaving strips of rattan, knotting them strand by strand, to create a surface. There are various types of caning and distinct motifs can be created using different techniques.

The famed no. 14 chair in wood with a cane seat, was designed in 1859 by Michael Thonet. With the advance of industrialization, the caning process was mechanized, opening the way to mass production. Some 45 million no. 14 chairs were produced.
The renowned architect and furniture designer Marcel Breuer, an icon of Modernism and the Bauhaus movement, designed the “Cesca chair” in 1928, at one of the high points of the Art Deco period. The chair was an homage to craftsmanship.
