Rattan furniture Philippines Cebu,
Various highlands marginal groups living in the remote
mountains of Northern Luzon in the Philippines have traditionally turned to
nearby communal forests for the principal source of materials to build best
traditional products know as rattan furniture Philippines Cebu.
In recent years, craftsmen in the mountains have experimented with using
traditional pine and runo materials in new furniture designed for the
rattan furniture Philippines Cebu local market and for export by
furniture in the Philippine. They have combined their own sense of design
with the requests of Japanese designers ordering for Japanese retailers. No
longer isolated in their high-elevation rice terraces, modernity brings
changes in everyday life, as t-shirts and jeans replace locally-woven
textiles, aluminum and plastic pots and pans replace baskets, and cement and
tin sheet roofing replace wood and grass as building materials - furniture
in the Philippine. The pine and runo used in the pieces may be recycled from
old houses or, more often, be recently harvested. Rattan furniture
Philippines Cebu materials are sun rather than kiln-dried and fumigated
before export.
Runo is a solid reed, an annual which grows wild at higher altitudes of the
steeply inclined mountains of the Northern Cordillera (a quality material
used for rattan furniture Philippines Cebu). It is very durable and
lasts for years untreated and exposed to bright sun and high humidity.
Before its new use in furniture, runo was used in traditional houses for the
drying shelf above the hearth, to make coffee and meat drying trays, as
poles for beans and peas and for floor mats. Now, a very fine material used
for rattan furniture Philippines Cebu.
