Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures furniture such as chairs and tables using rattan materials, from frame forming and weaving to painting and finishing, all in an integrated process.
Description
Rattan furniture manufacturing workers perform pre-processing such as selection, drying, and insect-proofing of rattan (rattan), and form the frame serving as the skeleton through bending processing and joining. After forming, they weave rattan by hand or machine to create seat and backrest parts, and finally apply painting, varnish finishing, and anti-corrosion treatment to complete the product. Dexterity and aesthetic sense are required, and techniques to balance durability and design are necessary. It also has a strong traditional craft aspect, handling quality control, repairs, and maintenance.
