When people say the words ‘Malawian cane chair,’ this traditional design is what often comes to mind. Also known as a ‘Malawi Chair,’ this is as authentic as it gets when it comes to adding beauty and diversity to your space. Effortless, yet intricately detailed, the Traditional Chair’s timber/bamboo frame settles in comfortably in any room or deck – quietly owning the space it’s in.
IMPORTANT: IMAGES SHOW A NUMBER OF VARIATIONS. ACTUAL ORDER WILL BE BASED ON YOUR TEXT-BASED ORDER. IE IMAGE COULD SHOW A WHITE CHAIR WITH BRASS FEET. BUT IF YOU’VE CHOSEN A WHITE CHAIR WITH NO FEET, THAT WILL BE THE ORDER.

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.
