Plastic Furniture South Africa

Over the past decades, there has been several attempts to recreate furniture industry with lots of different sorts of alternative materials, in order to find something that differs from the regular wood. Plastic furniture is one result of these attempts and it has started to be implemented in the furniture making industry from roughly the Sixties. Let us see where we can find plastic furniture in South Africa and what sorts of plastic furniture we can get to find.



Naturally, the word "plastic" is a very general word that does not exactly covers all aspect of plastic furniture making. There are hundreds of different sorts of plastic materials today, which are used for making either trendy furniture or garden furniture. Plastic is very well used for outdoor furniture because it largely withstands the weather changes and most importantly, it is light and easy to pack. In terms of plastic furniture being friendly, it is largely due to the interesting forms and colours that made plastic so popular in the Sixties. However, today, plastic furniture is not as relevant as designers thought it would become, at least not in the ways we imagine plastic furniture. Let us see all the different ways and sorts of plastic furniture which we can get to find in the South African furniture industry today.

Fibre Cane: wicker and rattan furniture are immensely popular in South Africa. There are several producers and dealers of rattan and wicker furniture in South Africa with CaneWorld and Blue Bay being one of the most popular among them, producing high quality outdoor furniture. Fibre cane furniture is normally promoted as "all-weather" wicker furniture, as being plastic; it withstands the effects of water. Fibre Cane has been made in such way, that it also withstands continuous sunshine for an extra long time. Today, a great deal of rattan and wicker furniture is made of fibre cane. This is one immensely popular sort of plastic furniture, which is not the general type of plastic that we would imagine.
