Cane and bamboo products are very strong, durable and eco-friendly. It is strong because bamboo is used in the body structure while the cane is used in binding as well as weaveing the seating part of the furniture. The rich quality products include sofas, chairs, racks, tables and swing chairs. The cane weaved sofa set and chairs are remarkable among all the products. The attractive intricate design patterns are admirable for their uniqueness. The motifs are created innovatively. Surahi – matka shape design that the artisans make for the back of the chair is one of the popular motifs available in the market. Another interesting thing about the cane and bamboo furniture of Allahabad is that the cane weaving around the bamboo frame is done in such a way that the frame which is inside cannot be seen from outside.
