Rattan Furniture Restoration in Montagne Longue, Mauritius

In Montagne Longue, Bruno and his team are keeping alive a valuable traditional craft: the making and restoration of rattan furniture.

Supported by Caritas Montagne Longue, these Mauritian artisans approach each piece with patience, precision and passion. In their hands, rattan is woven, repaired and reshaped to create new furniture or restore the beauty of pieces marked by time.

Their work requires technical skill, creativity and a deep respect for the material. Every armchair, chair or restored item tells a story of transmission, perseverance and teamwork.

Through this encounter, Travel-Îles shines a light on dedicated Mauritian artisans who are helping to preserve a traditional craft while giving rattan furniture a second life.

Step inside a workshop where skills are shared, knowledge is passed on and every gesture reflects a genuine passion for craftsmanship.
