Rattan, cane or wicker?

At times, the terms rattan and cane are used interchangeably… erroneously. The difference between them is that cane is a thinner material procured by stripping the rattan vine. Meanwhile, wicker is not a material at all; rather, it is an ancient technique of weaving natural materials such as wood, willow, rattan, cane as well as synthetic ones.

Wondering where it all started? We went back a few centuries and found this rattan seater from circa 1780. It uses wicker technique for the seat and back panels, while its hardwood frame is inspired by Vienna’s Josephinism style.
