Cane armchairs, hand-woven in Jodhpur — wholesale for importers, retailers and hospitality.
Lounge armchairs with hand-woven natural cane on kiln-dried solid-wood frames — sheesham, mango or acacia. The warm, breathable, boho-and-resort look buyers ask for, built with the arm-to-frame structure, compliance paperwork and container-readiness a serious import programme needs.
Woven cane for the look. A solid-wood frame and arms for the load.
An armchair is defined by its arms — the lounging, reading-corner seat you sink into, not the light side chair you pull up to a table. A cane armchair keeps that generous, relaxed silhouette and faces it in hand-woven cane: the thin, glossy outer skin peeled from the rattan palm, the same material used for classic chair-back webbing. Cane is decorative, not structural, so we weave it onto a kiln-dried solid-wood frame. The timber carries every seated kilogram through the legs and arm posts, while the cane back and arm panels give the chair its airy, light-filtering face and that unmistakable natural-fibre warmth. The result reads as genuine craft on a retail floor and survives real use in a hotel lounge — not a particleboard shell with a cane-print veneer.
The lounge seat that anchors a room — and carries a margin.
On-trend, broad appeal
Woven cane armchairs anchor the boho, coastal, Scandi-natural, planter's-colonial and resort schemes that dominate living-room and hospitality buying. One barrel or roll-arm silhouette suits a reading nook, a boutique lounge, a veranda or a guest room.
Light, breathable comfort
The open weave keeps a full-size armchair visually and physically light — easy to reposition, cool to sit in warm climates, and forgiving of tight floor plans where a fully upholstered club chair would feel heavy and dark.
Honest, sellable craft
Hand-woven panels on a solid-wood frame carry a sustainability and heritage story your customers pay for — a credible, deforestation-free alternative to mass-market foam-and-particleboard lounge seating.
One material, many armchair silhouettes.
Barrel & round-back
A curved cane back that wraps into the arms — the signature resort-lounge shape, comfortable with or without a loose seat cushion.
Planter's & roll-arm
Low, wide colonial-style loungers and classic roll-arm reading chairs with woven back and side panels on a solid-wood frame.
Wood & iron
Cane back and seat set into a powder-coated wrought-iron base for an industrial-natural look that ships knock-down with bolt-on legs.

Retail & online
Knock-down cane armchairs with bolt-on legs or arms raise container density, cut freight per unit and protect the woven panels in transit — ideal for retailers and marketplace sellers. We pack retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready, under your brand, with ODM catalogue designs or your own via OEM.
Hospitality & contract
For lobbies, lounges, cafés and guest rooms we reinforce the arm-to-leg joints, double-weave high-wear back panels and specify commercial-grade lacquer, so a cane armchair takes daily use. See how we build for hotel, restaurant and café projects.
Import-ready on every container
Our solid-wood frames ship with FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of Dalbergia sissoo (sheesham), backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB/TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 export packing — so your seating clears the port instead of sitting in it. See every certification we hold.
Care & longevity
Natural cane likes an occasional light damp wipe and good air; keep it out of direct rain and prolonged sun. Re-tightening a loosened back or arm panel is rare and simple. The solid-wood frame moves with climate, so a stable indoor environment and a soft dry wipe keep it sound, with occasional wood wax protecting the finish. We share care guidance with every order so your buyers keep the armchair selling for years.
Cane armchairs — wholesale & export FAQ
What is a cane armchair made of?
A cane armchair is a lounge chair with arms built around a kiln-dried solid-wood frame — sheesham, mango or acacia — with hand-woven cane forming the backrest and often the seat and arm panels. Cane is the glossy outer skin peeled from the rattan palm; it gives the chair its airy, breathable face while the timber frame and arms carry the sitter's weight. Every chair has at least one solid-wood component; we do not supply plywood-only or panel seating.
Are cane armchairs strong enough for hotel lobbies and restaurants?
Yes, when the frame does the work. We build on kiln-dried solid wood so the load sits on the timber frame and arms, not the weave, and for contract use we reinforce the arm-to-leg joints, double-weave high-wear back panels and finish with hard-wearing CARB/TSCA-compliant lacquer. Lobby, lounge and reading-corner cane armchairs are QC-checked for daily commercial use.
Can cane armchairs be used outdoors?
Natural cane and rattan suit indoor or fully covered, shaded settings — verandas, conservatories, lobbies and shaded poolside lounges — away from direct rain and prolonged sun, which dry out and fade natural fibre. For open-air projects we build the same armchair silhouettes in weather-resistant synthetic (PE) weave on powder-coated or solid-wood frames.
Can you make cane armchairs to our own design or private label?
Yes. We work as both ODM (our catalogue designs) and OEM — manufacturing to your drawings, seat and arm dimensions, weave pattern, finish and cushion upholstery, with custom CNC-cut frames, your branding and retail-ready or Amazon-FBA packaging. Send a reference image or spec and we prototype to it.
What is the minimum order and lead time for wholesale cane armchairs?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve wood, weave and seating comfort first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate cane armchairs with sofas, accent chairs and décor into one mixed container. Typical lead time is 30–45 days after sample approval; urgent orders at a premium.
Do cane armchairs ship flat-pack?
Many designs ship knock-down (RTA) with bolt-on legs or arms, which protects the woven panels and raises container density — ideal for large importers and online sellers. Assembled and part-assembled options are also available, and all solid-wood frames use ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing.
