wickerwork
Interlaced twig craft
Wickerwork is objects made by weaving flexible materials—typically willow, rattan, or reed—into a latticed pattern.
The term covers both the craft and its products: baskets, furniture, and decorative items.
The porch was furnished with old wickerwork chairs.
The interlaced pattern itself may be called wickerwork regardless of material.
