Special unique pieces: Woven Malawi furniture and mirrors made of rattan
Our Malawi chairs, benches and mirrors are fairly and sustainably handcrafted with a natural, yet incredibly detailed look from local Malawi Rattan - a fast-growing reed from the shores of Lake Malawi. Our producers are small farmers from a local cooperative who weave outside the planting and harvesting season. The weaving work provides the artisans with a sustainable income that allows them to feed their families while preserving their cultural heritage. Every Malawi rattan chair, every rattan bench and every rattan mirror is woven with a great sense of cultural tradition. The art of cane weaving is passed down from generation to generation and an experienced man, for example, takes up to 5 days to make a chair.
The Malawi chair is now a real classic and a guaranteed eye-catcher in any home. No glue or other aids are used in the production process. Instead, special, strong knots are tied to guarantee durability and outstanding quality.
