Description
- High-quality rattan poles or strands are carefully selected based on their strength, flexibility, and visual appeal. Sustainable rattan is often chosen to ensure responsible sourcing.
- The selected rattan poles or strands are cleaned and stripped of any thorns or rough edges. This process involves removing the outer layer of the rattan to reveal the smooth inner surface.
- Skilled artisans employ traditional weaving techniques to create the desired pattern and shape of the placemat. They carefully interlace the rattan strands, forming intricate designs using their expertise and craftsmanship.
- Once the weaving is complete, the rattan placemat is shaped and trimmed to achieve the desired size and edges. This step ensures uniformity and neatness in the final product.
- The rattan placemat is left to dry naturally, allowing it to retain its shape and stability. It may be further treated with a protective coating or varnish to enhance its durability, prevent moisture absorption, and preserve its natural beauty
