When considering options for your new conservatory or patio furniture, you may be wondering what the difference is between wicker and cane. These are both very popular styles of furniture and can be versatile in their uses, and you may see cane or rattan furniture being referred to as wicker. Where rattan and cane are materials, wicker is actually the process of weaving natural materials and is therefore used interchangeably as a collective term for woven furniture.
Woven furniture has been around for centuries, with some of the earliest examples of wicker being found in ancient Egypt! The craft has been finetuned and enhanced over the generations, bringing us to the detailed pieces available to you today, thanks to Garden of Eden Cane. The recent resurgence of wicker furniture has been exciting to see, bringing a sophisticated touch to homes around the world. You can see our range of beautiful wicker cane furniture at our Swindon showroom now!

What Is So Great About Cane?
Wicker furniture is often made with natural materials, such as reed, cane and bamboo, but it can also be made with vinyl and other synthetic materials too. Natural wicker furniture using a material such as a cane can be a great choice as it is environmentally friendly. Cane’s fast growth rate makes it an ideal candidate for products like this, as they are highly renewable. Since cane is harvested directly from nature and doesn’t need to be refined or chemically treated, it remains an organic and natural material by the time it becomes a piece of furniture! Once it does eventually reach the end of its lifespan, it doesn’t need to end up in a landfill forever as it is biodegradable. When you choose wicker cane furniture from Garden of Eden Cane, you are investing in sustainable furniture for your home.
Cane is the outside layer of bark from the rattan tree, so it is very durable and water resistant whilst being a lightweight and pliable material perfect for crafting attractive and comfortable woven furniture. Cane webbing is incredibly sturdy, so your intricately woven furniture will stand the test of time without losing its quality and appearance. It is long-lasting and low maintenance – continuing to perform well in spite of the elements. This makes it a perfect candidate for your garden and patio furniture. In contrast, synthetic wicker can fade and deteriorate in direct sunlight or as a result of water. You can be confident that you are getting the best when you choose cane furniture.
