When the wickerwork on your chairs starts to give way, it's natural to consider how much it will cost to have them re-weave. At DKA Design, we often experience that customers think their chair is finished because the seat has broken – but in the vast majority of cases, it can actually be easily saved with new wicker.
In this article, we give you an overview of what you can expect when it comes to new wicker on chairs and the price, depending on the type, material and construction of the chair.
What determines the price of new braid?
The price of having a chair woven depends primarily on:
The chair's design and construction: A simple dining chair with a wicker seat naturally costs less to reupholster than an armchair with both a wicker seat and back.
Braid type and material selection: We work with several types of braid - including paper yarn, French braid (reed braid), sene braid, envelope braid , flagline braid and straps.
Condition and preparation: Does the old wicker need to be removed, the frame repaired, or the glue loosened? All of this affects the price.
How much does new wicker on your chair cost?
The price of new wicker depends largely on the chair's design, weaving method and choice of materials. At DKA Design, we have over the years specialized in a wide range of iconic models – from Hans J. Wegner and Niels O. Møller to Børge Mogensen and Brdr. Krüger – and we offer transparent prices on the vast majority of chairs.
Here are some examples of typical prices:
CH24 – Y-chair (Hans J. Wegner) with paper yarn: from 850 kr.
J39 Folkestolen (Børge Mogensen): from DKK 1,100.
Models from Niels O. Møller and Wegner with flat weave: from DKK 985.
French braid on classic chairs (e.g. the Frisvingerstolen ): from 950 kr.
PP550 "The Peacock Chair" (PP Furniture) with flat weave: from DKK 1,600.
