About Us
Our Story
We believe some of the most interesting spaces begin with seeing new possibilities in the things already around us. Hi Key Trading brings together natural materials, thoughtful design, and practical support to help turn that possibility into something beautifully your own.
What We Do
Hi Key Trading offers natural rattan cane webbing for furniture updates, restoration, decorative projects, and original designs.
But the material is only part of the story. We also help you understand what you are working with, choose the weave that suits your project, and approach the work with greater confidence.
Sometimes a project begins with something new. Often, it begins with a piece you already own and the realization that it could become something entirely different.
Founded by
Lori Bohm
Hi Key Trading grew from founder Lori Bohm's lifelong interest in art, design, and the possibilities hidden in ordinary things.
Creativity has always shaped the way Lori sees a project. Her background in law brought something equally important to the business: a disciplined way of breaking complicated ideas into clear, manageable steps.
Those two perspectives continue to shape Hi Key Trading today. We care about how a material looks and feels, but we also care about helping people understand how to work with it successfully.
The result is a brand built around creativity with enough clarity to help an idea become a finished piece.
What Guides
the Brand
Three ideas sit at the heart of Hi Key Trading: creative reuse, natural materials, and project confidence.
Creative reuse means recognizing potential before replacing something simply because it feels dated or unfinished.
Natural materials bring variation, texture, and character that cannot be perfectly repeated, and we think that is part of what makes them beautiful.
Project confidence comes from knowing what to expect. Clear information can turn an unfamiliar material into one you are ready to work with.
Our Design
Point of View
We are drawn to interiors that feel collected rather than staged, and to materials that add character without overwhelming the piece around them.
Rattan cane webbing does that particularly well. It introduces natural texture, warmth, and visual interest while allowing the original character of a cabinet, chair, dresser, or architectural detail to remain part of the design.
We do not believe every transformation needs to erase what came before. Sometimes the most interesting result comes from keeping what gives a piece its personality and changing only what gives it new life.
Materials Matter
Natural rattan has a character of its own. Tone, texture, and subtle variation are part of the material, not imperfections to be engineered away.
We believe good materials should give you choices. Rattan can be left natural, stained to complement the wood around it, or painted to become part of an entirely different design.
Whatever direction you choose, the material should support the idea rather than dictate it.
Confidence Comes From Knowing What Comes Next
A beautiful material is much easier to enjoy when you understand how to use it.
That is why Hi Key Trading goes beyond the roll itself. We provide practical information about choosing a weave, determining how much material you need, preparing natural cane, planning your cuts, and approaching installation thoughtfully.
You do not need to know everything before you begin. You simply need enough information to take the next step with confidence.
Our Promise
We will continue to choose materials thoughtfully, share what we learn clearly, and help you see the possibilities in the pieces and spaces around you. Your project is yours. Our job is to help you begin with confidence and create something that feels distinctly your own.
