Synthetic furniture
Synthetic furniture is the process of weaving
natural materials like willow, rattan, cane, bamboo into various patterns.
Wicker furniture is made from weaving interlaced slender branches around a
frame and molding it into desired shapes such as tables, chairs, bed or
sofas. Most wicker furniture is manufactured by hand and they originate from
Southeast Asia, mainly Indonesia, Philippines and China. Wicker furniture
became popular in the Victorian era, as its smooth surfaces and clean lines
were believed to be more clean and hygienic than upholstered synthetic
furniture and
synthetic tables.
Synthetic furniture can be broadly classified into two categories: loom
woven and synthetic wicker furniture. Loom woven wicker pieces use natural
materials such as rattan, cane or bamboo and for the best synthetic
furniture. These materials are dipped in resin emulsions to form a moisture
resistant shield. Synthetic wicker furniture is made from hand-woven
polyethylene, fiber glass or resin, a material that resembles natural wicker
and is washable, waterproof, colorfast, and ultraviolet and frost-resistant.
Synthetic woven furniture usually has aluminum frames for increased strength
and durability. It often contains UV inhibitors that repel the damaging
effects of the sun, harsh weather and temperature changes. Some variety of
synthetic furniture is dipped in a special coating to resist fading and
reduce flaking and cracking.
Synthetic furniture is available in natural, stained or painted surfaces. It
offers comfort, durability, versatility and livability. Because of its
natural finish and color, it mixes well with upholstered pieces. It is
popular as outdoor and patio furniture because it is easy to clean and is
lightweight.
Wicker furniture and synthetic furniture can last for several years,
provided a little bit of care is taken with its upkeep. Although wicker
furniture is easy to maintain and attracts less dust, it is advisable to
vacuum or dust the furniture regularly and treat it with furniture polish. A
layer of lacquer should be applied for restoring its finish.
