A PRODUCTION STORY

Not a production line without a face.

Wicker is shaped by material judgment, tension, rhythm and experience.

“Every collection begins with a conversation about how it should feel and perform.”

02CRAFT & CONSISTENCY

BOBAI CRAFTSMANSHIP

Regional craft,
made ready
for scale.

Handmade character matters. So does a clear reference for material, form and finish before production begins.

Material judgement

Structure, surface and intended use guide the material choice.

Sample consistency

A confirmed reference keeps handmade production aligned.

Buyer visibility

Important details are reviewed before the order moves forward.

CONTROL MAP · BEFORE SCALE

One shared reference at every stage.

Handmade character is protected by making the critical requirements visible: what must be measured, what should be judged visually, and what must be confirmed by the buyer.

Order referenceThe approved sample and written specification should be read together; neither should be replaced by a website image.

Incoming material direction

Material type, color range, usable quality and the visual character expected for the collection.

Review

Frame and dimensions

Overall measurements, critical openings, balance, functional structure and model-specific tolerances.

Measure

Weave and surface

Density, rhythm, joins, edge treatment, finish and the boundary between natural variation and defect.

Visual standard

Components and branding

Fittings, textiles, cable direction, labels, logo placement and any buyer-supplied components.

Confirm

Final appearance and function

Complete product view, stability, intended use, assortment consistency and buyer inspection points.

Inspect

Packing and carton marks

Pressure protection, nesting, inner materials, quantity per carton, marks and handling direction.

VISUAL PROCESS GUIDE · 01—06

Six views of how
the work moves forward.

Each view answers one practical production question: where the work happens, how cane is shaped and woven, how materials are prepared, and how finished pieces are checked and protected.

MANUFACTURING SNAPSHOT

A practical base for project development.

WEIGE works directly with a family-operated manufacturing base in Bobai, coordinating development, production follow-up and quality checkpoints for confirmed projects.
