Malawi Side Table Cane - Natural, Cane

The Malawi side table features hand-woven rattan strips arranged in intricate patterns along its sides and top. Each strip is secured with traditional knots rather than glue or nails, and every piece takes an artisan several days to complete. Because each table is handmade, slight variations in shape and measurements add to its individual character. Its taller, larger profile suits placement beside a sofa or chair, or as a plant stand. Dimensions: approx. W53 x D53 x H60 cm. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, which can cause dark staining on the rattan; marks can be treated with a diluted oxalic acid solution brushed over the affected area.

Rather than the glue or nails common in European furniture, the makers secure every strip with traditional knots. Each takes an artisan several days to weave. As these are bespoke and handmade by several different artisan groups, every piece is slightly individual, and measurements vary a little with the handmade nature.
