What is Rattan Storage Baskets?

Basket weaving is a time proven trade that has been passed down from generation to generation across a multitude of cultures. The process of creating Rattan Storage Baskets involves weaving unspun vegetable fibers into a basket form. It is not limited to vegetable fibers, as a woven basket could be constructed from any pliable material that may be bent and manipulated to form the desired shape. Woven baskets consist of two factors, the stakes or spokes plus the additional pliable components that are woven between and over the stakes. Stakes or spokes are the components that build up the “walls” of the basket and also the frame to form the basket. The pliable components are wrapped more than and under the stakes as the designer sees fit. The tighter the woven strands are together, the sturdier the basket.
