So what's the difference? Wicker furniture can be woven from different types of materials: cane, rattan (what we primarily use at KKH), and bamboo, and these vines generally grow in the rainforest.

This is because seagrass is very difficult to dye, almost impossible to find in a custom color, and it requires a frame (whether wood or metal) while wicker is strong enough to be used without any kind of support.
