Kursi Sungkai Rotan

The KURSI SUNGKAI ROTAN is a dining and accent chair constructed from solid Sungkai wood combined with natural woven rattan. The primary framework consists of kiln-dried Sungkai timber, a hardwood native to Indonesia known for its light coloration, straight grain pattern, and high tensile strength relative to its weight. This wood species accepts finishes uniformly, allowing the natural grain to remain visible beneath a protective, low-sheen clear coat.

Measuring 53.00 centimeters in width, 81.00 centimeters in height, and 52.00 centimeters in depth, the chair occupies a total volume of 0.2200 cubic meters. The physical weight of the complete unit is 4.00 kilograms, making it light enough to move frequently across different flooring surfaces without resistance. The seating plane sits at a standard dining height, supported by four cylindrical legs that taper slightly toward the floor to reduce visual bulk while maintaining structural load capacity.

The backrest and seat insert feature traditional cane webbing manufactured from peeled rattan poles. The rattan strands are hand-woven into an open octagonal mesh pattern, a technique that distributes weight evenly across the seating surface while permitting continuous air circulation. This woven panel is secured within routed grooves along the inner perimeter of the wooden frame, bound tightly with a fine rattan binder cane to conceal the fastening points and prevent fraying under tension.

Structurally, the chair utilizes traditional mortise and tenon joinery to connect the horizontal rails to the vertical legs. Additional stability is provided by curved corner brackets fitted beneath the seat frame, which resist lateral movement and twisting forces exerted during daily use. The backrest curves backward in a single, steam-bent piece of Sungkai timber, providing ergonomic support against the user’s lower back without requiring supplementary upholstery or foam padding.

The exposed surfaces of the Sungkai wood undergo a multi-step sanding process by hand to eliminate roughness, followed by the application of a water-based sealer that protects the timber from moisture absorption and minor surface scratches. The natural rattan elements retain their unbleached, raw finish, which darkens gradually over time when exposed to direct ambient light.

Maintenance requirements for this furniture piece are minimal. The wooden frame requires only periodic dusting with a dry microfiber cloth, while the woven rattan surface can be cleaned using a soft-bristled brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated debris from the hexagonal interstices. Due to the organic properties of both Sungkai wood and natural rattan, the chair is intended strictly for indoor residential or commercial environments, away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high-humidity areas that might compromise the integrity of the natural fibers and wood glue joints.
