Some Things Are Too Loved
to Throw Away
“These chairs have held three generations of birthdays. Thank you for making sure they’ll hold the next three.”
– Cyril Tomlinson, Abbotsford, BC (November 19, 2025)
“It’s not just a chair anymore — it’s my grandmother’s laugh every time someone sits down for dinner.”
– Sarah L., Vancouver
Your father walking back into the room every time you pull his Wegner to the table.
The scratches that are stories, not flaws.
At Caning Canada we save memories — one hand-woven strand at a time.

-
cane (thin rattan palm strands for lattice patterns), and
-
Shaker tape (flat cotton webbing for simple supports),
We revive heirlooms like Hans Wegner chairs and Cesca chairs with eco-friendly weaves that combat fast furniture’s environmental impact—did you know 12 million tons of furniture end up in landfills annually (EPA)?
