Cane furniture is back! Lining everything from sideboards to stools, the open weave and bumpy texture has a friendly quality; its netting an open book that seems to say: “Don’t take me too seriously.” Snap up new pieces for your pad, or hunt down a set of vintage Cesca chairs. Remember those? They were everyone’s dining set in the 1970s into the’80s. (You gave them away, mom?!). If only she had known.
