Guest Blog: Cobra Cane
Cane furniture has been around for years and continues to remain popular, especially in outdoor furniture. Cobra Cane have been importing and selling cane furniture for 21 years with a history of importing furniture which dates back to 1979. Naturally, Cobra Cane has a wealth of knowledge and experience in everything that involves cane, wicker and rattan. Stuart Mills, the director of Cobra Cane can trace his passion back to 1974 when he went on a post-university trip to South East Asia. This experience led to Stuart’s decision to later end his corporate career where he worked for both Ford Motor Co. and Shell Oil and start afresh in an industry that would allow him to follow his passion – travelling to exotic locations.
Cobra Cane imports a variety of different furniture pieces made from rattan, cane, bamboo and seagrass. Cobra Cane personally travels to the manufacturers which range from small cottage industry businesses, to large factories. Over the years, Cobra Cane has supported businesses in South East Asia and helped them become exporters internationally, creating employment in these areas. While the cane products are imported, the majority of the cushions are made in-house, here in Australia. This allows customisation and a choice of fabric options as well as the ability to replace old cushions. There is also the option to custom design the furniture itself as well as numerous services such as repair, staining and painting of cane furniture.
Cane offers many benefits such as remaining cool to touch even in the most humid climates. This makes it a great choice for Australian summers no matter where you live. Cane furniture can also have a timeless appearance and will remain a classic for years to come. The Portsea Chair above is a classic design and continues to remain popular due to its versatility and range of applications including both indoor and outdoor. The Raffles range is also extremely popular and is a great storage solution for almost every room in the house from the bedroom to the living room. The Raffles 3 Drawer Storage Unit has a relaxed feel and perfectly suits casual areas, country and beachside décor.
