The Light & Airy Charm of Binding Cane Weaving


Binding cane weaving—a delicate, open lattice technique—defines mid-century modern design with its lightweight, breathable, and durable structure. Featured in classics like the Hans Wegner PP501 Round Chair, Bambi Model 56/1 Lounge, and Peter Hvidt magazine shelves, this method ensures airflow and visual openness.


At Caning Canada, we restore authenticity using premium, sustainably sourced binding cane, replicating original patterns with precision. Over time, cane frays—but our hand-woven replacements revive clarity, comfort, and value.


Now booking in Fort Langley, BC—get your Wegner, Bambi, or vintage magazine shelf holiday-ready. Watch our before-and-after video on Instagram (@CaningCanada) and visit caningcanada.com to explore full transformations!

At some point this Bambi Chair was restored using a closed weave binding cane backrest and fibre rush seat. The restorer likely wasn't able to replicate the original design.

Designed by Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor in the mid-50s, the Bambi Lounge Chair is the highlight of the famous Bambi collection. The back of model 56/1 is constructed of woven binding cane. This open back ensures that the design appears airy and light. Restored to the original material and weaving pattern design.

Over time, however, cane can fray or break, dulling your furniture’s charm. That’s where Caning Canada steps in with expert binding cane services!


Our skilled artisans meticulously restore your furniture using eco-friendly, binding cane, ensuring sustainability and authenticity. Freshly woven cane not only revitalizes your chairs and shelves but also brightens your room, making it the perfect upgrade for holiday gatherings and sustainable home decor.


Imagine your dining chairs, restored to perfection, providing breathable comfort for guests during extended meal times—or gifting a loved one a beautifully restored heirloom for the holidays, reducing waste and boosting value!
