The iconic Y-chair – also known as Hans J. Wegner’s CH24 – is one of the most beloved classics of Danish furniture design. But even the most beautiful pieces of furniture wear out over time, especially when used every day. Maybe the seat of your chair has started to rise, the wicker has broken, or the wood has lost its glow. At DKAdesign, we can help you with professional Y-chair repairs, so you can get your chair looking and feeling like new again.
We have many years of experience in renovating Y-chairs, and we always use original materials and techniques that respect Wegner's timeless design. Whether you need a minor refresh or a complete reupholstery of your Y-chair, we are ready to help you.
Why choose to have your Y-chair renovated?
A Y-chair is designed to last for many years – and with the right care, it can last for generations. However, the paper yarn on the seat wears out naturally, and the wood gets small marks and loses its surface treatment. With a professional repair of a Wegner Y chair, you give the furniture new life and ensure that it continues to adorn your home for many years to come.
A renovation is not just about making the chair look good again. It is also about comfort. When we do a CH24 Y chair repair, we make sure that the chair again provides the support and seating comfort that Wegner intended it to. You can choose whether you want to stick to the original look with a soap treatment and natural-colored wicker - or whether you want to try a more personal expression with, for example, an oil treatment and black wicker.
What does a renovation entail?
When you return your chair to us, we will thoroughly examine it with you so that we can assess what is needed. We offer, among other things:
- Y chair wicker: We replace the old, worn wicker with new paper yarn in the original quality and pattern.
- Sanding and treating the wooden frame to give it the right glow again.
- Repairing minor damage to the frame – for example, if the chair has become crooked or there are dents in the wood.
- Gluing and assembly.
We emphasize preserving the authenticity of the chair and ensuring a result that is both beautiful and durable.
