Vienna Straw is made from rushes (drawn rushes) and is cut into long, thin strips ranging from 1.75 to 3.00 mm in width, giving it a high degree of strength. Vienna straw has a surface as smooth as plastic and was originally used for the construction of small accessories and for stuffing chair seats.
