Rattan

Cane refers to the flexible stems of climbing palms, especially rattan, which is strong, naturally glossy and incredibly durable. India’s Northeastern region—mainly Assam, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh—is rich in rattan varieties. These forests have supported cane craft for generations, with artisans mastering techniques such as splitting, bending, weaving and binding the cane into beautiful shapes. Cane craft is not just a product-making process; it is a heritage that passes from one generation to the next.

Rattan, the most widely used cane variety, grows in dense forests. Artisan communities depend on this plant for making baskets, trays, stools, chairs, planters and premium furniture. Bhartiye Crafts collaborates with these artisans to introduce contemporary designs, improve finishing quality and connect their work with modern buyers who appreciate eco-friendly and handcrafted decor.
