Wicker

GENERAL INFORMATION

Wicker, also known as rattan, is a natural material made from the inner stem fibres of the tropical palm, Calamus Rotang, native to India, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Over time, wicker develops a beautiful patina. Wicker is woven by hand to create the seats and backrests of Fritz Hansen’s Poul Kjærholm furniture. Worn or damaged wicker seats and backrests can be repaired.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Wicker will dry out if placed in low humidity environments, including rooms with central heating. When wicker dries, it hardens and risks breaking. Dry wicker is not covered by the Fritz Hansen warranty.

CLEANING & STAIN REMOVAL

Clean wicker monthly to maintain its condition. Dissolve one teaspoon of soap flakes in a litre of hot water. Using an atomiser, spray the solution onto both sides of the wicker, allowing it to penetrate the material. Excess water should be wiped from the chair with a clean, damp cloth.
