Kerala is famous for its coir. But here the chair-mender is using java-cane and these are collected from tribals around the jungle belt. In Kerala there are still skilled workers and it may cost some 1000 Rupees (euro 25) to weave the seat and back. This man was willing to come to our place in Tamil Nadu to repair our Malabar Chair which is larger and made of rosewood.
