Fibre-cane furniture embodies the timeless elegance of rattan or wicker, but with enhanced resilience against the elements. At Alifurn, we use 100% synthetic high-density polyethylene for crafting our outdoor furniture, ensuring unmatched performance and longevity.
To create weatherproof and fade-resistant fibre-cane, we have meticulously infused two UV stabilisers into the plastic during the manufacturing process. This ensures that your furniture retains its vibrant colours and remains pristine, even when exposed to the harshest weather conditions.
Unlike superficial colour applications, we take pride in our high-quality extrusion process. We incorporate premium colour pigments directly into the fibre-cane, resulting in rich, deep hues that withstand the test of time. The result is furniture that not only captivates with its natural appeal but also elevates your outdoor spaces with lasting beauty.
Experience the allure of fibre-cane, where elegance and durability seamlessly blend to create outdoor furniture that transcends the seasons, leaving you to relish cherished moments in style and comfort.
In our quest for creating exquisite outdoor furniture while safeguarding the environment, Alifurn turns to synthetic fibre-cane—an innovation born out of a necessity to preserve natural resources. With the depletion of natural cane and rattan resources, the development of synthetic fibre-cane emerged as an eco-conscious solution that mirrors the beauty and functionality of its natural counterpart.
Traditionally, natural cane and rattan are obtained from climbing palms prevalent in tropical African and South East Asian countries. However, the harvesting and processing methods of these valuable resources require significant improvements to ensure their preservation for generations to come. The World Wildlife Fund echoes this concern, emphasising the urgency of responsible practices to prevent the complete disappearance of these natural treasures.
By choosing poly-rattan or fibre-cane furniture, you become an advocate for the environment. Your decision to opt for synthetic fibre-cane aligns with sustainable principles and helps alleviate the pressure on the world’s remaining rattan forests. At Alifurn, we take pride in offering outdoor furniture that not only brings elegance to your spaces but also contributes positively to our planet’s well-being.
With fibre-cane, you can indulge in the timeless allure of rattan while supporting environmentally responsible practices. Discover the perfect balance of aesthetics and sustainability with our fibre-cane furniture collection. Let your outdoor sanctuary be a reflection of your commitment to a greener world, where nature’s beauty thrives alongside your cherished moments.
Alifurn’s fibre-cane furniture is suitable for the domestic, hospitality and corporate sectors. We offer a range of popular colours, but colour-matching can also be done for unique shades.
We predominantly use 4mm round and 7mm flat fibre-cane, but please contact us if you require more information about other fibre-cane options.
Choosing the perfect fabric for your outdoor furniture is vital, as outdoor fabrics require greater durability to withstand the elements. At Alifurn, we take pride in offering a curated selection of expertly upholstered cushions and soft furnishings, ensuring your outdoor oasis exudes both comfort and style.
Essential characteristics of outdoor fabric:
All our cushions are expertly upholstered from durable tightly woven fabrics by our expert team. We use high density foam padded with Dacron® for added protection, and all cushions have piping and zips to make removing covers for washing easy. The result is quality cushions made for comfort, and which will stand the test of time.
Alifurn proudly presents Sunbrella®, the epitome of high-performance and stylish outdoor fabric. Originally developed for the boating industry, Sunbrella® has been meticulously crafted to offer exceptional resistance to fading and sun exposure. The colour pigments are incorporated during the manufacturing process, resulting in a fade-resistant fabric that captivates with its lasting beauty.
Sunbrella®’s CleanGard® treatment further enhances its capabilities, making it water-repellent and stain-resistant. This extraordinary fabric can withstand various weather conditions, including salty water and chlorine, making it an ideal choice for seaside or poolside settings. Plus, Sunbrella® is environmentally-friendly, carrying the prestigious Oeko-Tex label, ensuring your outdoor experience is both luxurious and responsible.
In the Cedarbrook Collection, we employ acrylic fabric, a natural resistance to rotting, mildew, and mild acids and alkalines. Treated with a Teflon® fabric protector, this fabric not only guards against mildew and mould but also repels water and oil. While our fabrics are resilient, periodic washing at 40°C is recommended to maintain their allure.
Alifurn’s dedication to using high-quality fabrics in our outdoor furniture ensures that you indulge in both comfort and longevity. Embrace the outdoors with fabrics that reflect your commitment to excellence, elevating your outdoor living experience to unmatched heights.
