LASIO | PHEEL

Skin of rattan material, derived from the outer skin of small rattan such as sega, kubu, jawit or sukamara which is thinly sliced with a width of:

1. Between 4 - 5 mm antique lasio
2. Between 9 - 10 mm heel latio

After the curing process, some craftsmen often fumigate lasio with sulfur so that the color returns to bright golden yellow.

In its current development, rattan lasio is also processed using a machine with neater and thinner results.

Lesions | This pheel has flexible properties when immersed in water, cannot absorb color so that for coloring it requires special treatment by carrying out a heating process, it breaks easily when bent sharply but is very strong when pulled (stretch power).

Lasio material function | The pheel in rattan furniture is for lasio matting (commonly called wibing), ties to cover and beautify rattan frame joints, and supports (plintengan) to strengthen the wicker seat on the frame.
