This adorable set of bentwood rattan is special in that it retains the makers mark. Chan Kai-wa started in the rattan trade in the late 1930s working for a small agency that supplied to Calif-Asia, the Los Angeles-based major importer of rattan furniture founded by Bessie Abbott Ochs. The company was renamed Kai Wa Designs in 1974.
