Binding Cane or Rattan Furniture Repair

Binding cane or rattan is used to weave Danish midcentury modern furniture.

We need a photo of your binding cane piece to give you an estimate, as we need to estimate the amount of material required, the attachment technique, and the weaving method. 

Binding cane is used in many ways to create a light, airy yet functional surface on midcentury modern Danish tables. 

This Danish teak table with a cane shelf uses a no-nail technique to attach the binding cane to the magazine shelf.

The weaving pattern is a one-by-one open weave.

Riempie chairs can be traced back to the traditional 17th-century Dutch, Flemish, and English chairs.

 Riempies or readily available leather straps were used in place of cane or reed strips which had to be imported.

In the early 1820s, settlers in South Africa were on the move and needed lightweight chairs that utilized the materials available, and the technique of riempies was most common. A simple, lightweight and strong chair that embraced the South African heritage.

Riempie chairs have stood the test of time and are still produced in South Africa.

Now I don't do leatherwork. However, I have found that weaving the Riempie chairs with two different gauges of cane provides a clean, textured, yet beautifully finished seat that is well suited to the chairs. Replacing the traditional leather straps with cane has been well received as the Riempie strapping with time transfers a powdery and caulk-like substance to one's clothing.
