    what looks like wicker to me could be rattan, cane, different uses of bamboo etc., so I cannot be very helpful.

    One way to research it is to find stores that sell it:
    The Wicker Furniture Directory

    This place says it is located in HK: www.RattanWare.com - Rattan Core, Rattan Cane Webbing, Herringbone Rattan Mat, Reed Diffuser Sticks, Chair Cane, Paper Cane Webbing, Synthetic Resin Material, Bamboo Poles & Bamboo Wares.

    In asia, a lot of repair and mfgr shops are shop-front family operations run on the ground floor of the building they live upstairs in. I find a lot of these places from the window of buses as I am going to other places. It is also true in Asia, as other regions, that entire industries will be located in a single neighborhood or street.

    There are a few shops on Queens Road East in Wanchai that make rattan furniture, could be a place to start
