Wicker
Wicker is hard woven
fiber formed into a useful object. Wicker is usually used for
baskets or
furniture. Traditional wicker is made of material of
plant origin, but nowadays also
plastic fibers are used.Materials used can be any part of a plant, such as the cores or canes of
rattan stalks, or the whole thickness, as with
willow switches. Other popular materials include
reed and
bamboo.Often a frame is made of stiffer materials, after which more pliant material is used to fill in the frame. Wicker is light yet sturdy, making it suitable for furniture that will be moved often. It is often used for porch and patio furniture.
