Wicker outdoor living furniture was originally made from the stems of any one of 600 species of Arecaceae predominantly found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. These vine-like palms, belonging to the subfamily Calamoideae, were harvested for their pliable yet sturdy stems, which were then tightly woven into interlocking panels to form various furniture pieces. The palm stems were tightly woven into interlocking panels, and formed into the desired structure. Modern wicker furniture is often made from synthetic resin or other plastic which is moulded to resemble real wood or wicker.
