Weaving Services: Quick And Expert Renewal Of Your Danish Cord Chairs

Danish Cord Weaving
How Does It Work?

Danish cord weaving is a traditional technique used to create strong, durable, and visually striking seats and backs for Mid-Century chairs. High-quality 3-ply Danish cord is carefully threaded and woven by hand using patterns specific to each designer, such as Møller, Wegner, or Hovmand-Olsen. The weaving process restores both the functionality and aesthetic of the chair, ensuring it is sturdy and elegant. Each restoration is tailored to the unique design of the chair, respecting its original construction and style.

Danish Cord Weaving - How Does The Process Look Like?

Preparation of the Chair

Before weaving, each chair frame is carefully inspected. Any old or damaged cord is removed, and the wooden frame is checked for stability and repaired if necessary. This creates a smooth, even base for the new cord, ensuring a long-lasting and precise restoration.


Weaving the Cord

High-quality 3-ply Danish cord is threaded and woven by hand using traditional techniques, specifically tailored to the chair’s original design. The cord is carefully tensioned and wrapped according to the required pattern—single, double, or more complex designs—providing both strength and authentic aesthetics.

Finishing Touches

Once weaving is complete, the seat and back are trimmed and secured, and the frame is polished if needed. Each chair is carefully checked for uniformity, comfort, and durability. The result is a beautifully restored Danish cord chair that combines classic Scandinavian elegance with functional strength.
