Kok Cane Exhibits Rattan Tradition

The Timeless Tradition Of Rattan

Highlighting the beauty of rattan furniture and the exquisite skills required to craft each piece, the people behind Kok Cane Enterprise prides themselves for preserving the art inherited from their ancestors.

When it comes to classic, traditional and vintage-esque rattan products, look no further than Kok Cane. The founder, Kok, started training his craft at age 17, and now at age 70, his company, now headed by his son, has established itself as a well known name in the Malaysian rattan industry.

The furniture produced by Kok Cane is 100% handmade and crafted by people who have honed their skills in the course of many years and training. One of the unique qualities of rattan, though, is the closeness to nature that it exudes. Rattan pieces cannot be manufactured through machinery, so a human touch is always required. The decades of experience of the craftspeople can be felt in each woven piece of furniture.

The rattan products Kok Cane produces are of an exceptional quality, which is why many customers only ever have to make a one-time yet lifelong purchase from them, but Kok Cane also offers repair work for any rattan furniture or products. Repair work for rattan can be quite tedious because of the intricate craftsmanship that goes into each piece, but Kok Cane’s mastery over this artform makes them more than capable to patch up and renew all sorts of rattan items.

Kok Cane often creates custom-made products for individuals, but the company is also frequently hired to fulfil customised orders for hotels and restaurants. The classic designs that Kok Cane emulates clearly bring a certain quintessential appeal that attracts any and everybody looking for a nostalgia-inducing feature for their storefront or home. Many interior designers are also into the rattan look these days, but putting aside from the aesthetics, rattan furniture is also very strong and comfortable, making it a perfect yet underrated material.

Both the unique look and beneficial properties of rattan is what Kok Cane seeks to bring out through their furniture. The combination of the raw beauty of rattan and the excellent craftsmanship is what makes the material stand out and appeal to a great demographic of people, but with the help of the Malaysian Timber Industry Board, rattan is further promoted and exposed to the public. With that support, Kok Cane’s products will continue a legacy of rattan artisanship and handmade furniture-making.
