Danish cord
The seat many Danish design chairs are known for. From warp to finished pattern.
Level: BeginnerDelivered by email a few minutes after payment.
Danish cord is strong, beautiful, and surprisingly forgiving to work with. That’s why most people start here.
We show you how to prepare the frame, set up the warp with L-nails, and weave the pattern row by row, so the seat ends up tight and lasts for many years.
What you’ll learn
- Remove the old seat and prepare the frame
- Set up the warp with L-nails
- Weave the pattern row by row
- Keep the tension even all the way
- Finish and care for the cord
