Cushion options
- Foam seat cushions: a neat, tailored seat pad in medium-density foam that holds its shape, with piping and a zip-off cover in natural Bull Denim. Firm, clean-lined and easy to look after.
- Superior seat cushions: plump cushions filled with allergy-free Unicurl fibre, for a softer seat you sink into, in natural Bull Denim with a zip-off cover for washing. Our most comfortable option.
Pick a cushion option and the photo switches to show that cushion. All cushions are made in house in Cape Town to fit this set.
Please use these as a guideline, as all our pieces are handcrafted and may vary slightly. Cane is a natural material and subtle differences in tone and texture are part of its character, and colours may look slightly different on screen.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
All Malawi Cane products are made using natural rattan from Malawi. As with any natural product, care should be taken when exposed to the elements. Varnish or paint treatment is recommended for outdoor patio use.
Without care, and if exposed to constant direct UV rays or rain, the chairs will eventually go a silvery / grey colour and deteriorate, offering a rustic, Provençal look.
To prolong the life of your Malawi Cane pieces, we recommend:
- Regularly dusting them with a dry soft cloth.
- For spots a little harder to get to, use a soft bristle brush.
- If it’s raining, keep them undercover. It’s important to keep them dry and avoid a build- up of moisture and mildew. If they do get damp or wet, simply dry them out on a warm, sunny day when you next can.
- If there is heavy or prolonged periods of rain or humidity, we recommend bringing your pieces indoors during that time.
Please note that if a dark ‘mould’ ever forms, this is usually superficial and can be scrubbed off using a spoon of oxalic acid (available at most hardware stores) mixed in 5L of water and then rinsed.

From Malawi to the world
It takes one person one week to make a single Malawi Chair. After that the artisans use bicycles to transport the furniture to our trucks, and then to our warehouse and quality control facility in Cape Town. From there we send out containers to the world.
