Liana is a generic name for woody rainforest . Similar in look and texture to the rattan and bamboo of the Far East, the kufa and nibbi vines are used for the structural elements of Liana Cane furniture (liana is a generic term for woody rainforest). Nibbi, a small vine that grows from the forest floor up the trunks of trees, is used for binding joints as well as for the weaving that gives a wicker-like appearance to some of the pieces. Also, a fibre of the Ite palm is made into a twine called Tibisiri. This is used for the production of a cord-like material that is woven into fabric for the seats and backs of the chairs and tables, unique to Liana furniture.

One Liana piece that caught our eye recently is the Liana Cane Gunns rocker made of sustainably harvested jatoba wood and nibbi cane.

We just wish we could find a picture.
