When we talk to our customers at Cane Direct, we often find that their ideas of cane furniture are really sort of stuck in the past.  When they visit our showroom they are bewildered at the selection, styles and fabrics that are now available.

Many many years ago, cane furniture was of a quite standard design, with maybe a choice of maybe three floral type fabrics, which was all well and good and our customers were more than happy with that and many of those cane three piece suites are still around today.  The industry of cane furniture has by no means stood still with new designs appearing every season.

One of the original suites that we sold at Cane Direct many years ago was called the Bahamas Suites, which was a bucket shaped chair, with a low back and foam filled cushions.  The bases were not sprung, as with today’s style of cane furniture, but our customers were very pleased with it as there was no where near the choice we are offered today. 

Like any other industry, cane furniture is constantly reinventing itself,  with different colour cane, different weaves, and even artificial cane which is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.  Surprisingly all these type of furniture are made in the same factories.  The newer more modern styles that are coming through, in the shops at the moment are the more box shaped cane suites usually in a cream or beige fabric.  At Cane Direct we can guarantee that our styles of Cane furniture are constantly changing, and who knows, this time next year a different style of cane furniture will prevail….. and you will know where to find it wont you?
