Burma Bistro Chair

Handwoven from natural rattan

£ 260.00
Tax included.

Our new woven bistro chairs will bring the Burmese summer to your house or garden. Ideal for coffee on your balcony or patio, or by a sunny window, these are woven by hand just outside Yangon. The weave pattern is inspired by the Chin tribes from northwest Burma and the soothing green colour recalls the pine trees of the Burmese hills.

Are you a trade customer? If you're ordering 10+ units we can customise the colour, pattern and shape of these. Get in touch at trade@kalinko.com.

The making

Meet the Makers: Rattan

Rattan and the Hand of the Maker

In a village in the Ayeyarwady region of southwest Burma, everyone weaves. Rattan – which grows voraciously in the northern Burmese rainforests, regrows rapidly once harvested and is totally biodegradable – is piled up under the eaves of the villagers’ bamboo homes, ready to be woven, threaded, flexed and transformed into something beautiful. It’s a quiet, peaceful process, not tainted by the clicking and whirring of machines, but instead soundtracked by chatter amongst the weavers, or the odd light hammer tapping on the nails which keep the frames in place.
