Skilled artisans carefully select and harvest the rattan canes, which are then cleaned, dried, and split into thin strips.

The woven pieces are then reinforced with additional structural elements, such as wooden frames or metal supports, to ensure stability and durability.

In addition to the raw rattan material, the industry also requires various tools and equipment for the harvesting, processing, and assembly of the furniture, such as knives, saws, and specialized weaving and bending tools.
