The cantilever chair
The cantilever chair was very popular in the 80s, but has become popular again in recent years. On the older models, the wicker is made by hand, so if you buy this chair, you should be aware of this. It is significantly more expensive to have it re-braided if it is hand-braided.

Repair and new wicker on cantilever chair
The Cantilever Chair, made by Michael Thonet , was particularly popular in the 70s and 80s – and is today once again a sought-after piece of furniture in modern interiors. At DKA Design, we offer professional repairs and new wickerwork on the Cantilever Chair, so you can maintain both comfort and aesthetics for many years to come.
We regularly receive inquiries about cantilever chairs with wicker that have become loose, worn or broken over time. That is why we have specialized in both machine wicker and hand wicker – depending on the age and construction of the chair. Please note that the older models are often hand wicker, which requires more work hours and thus a higher price than newer models with machine wicker .
How repair and rewiring are done
Whether you need a cantilever chair wicker as a replacement, repair or complete restoration, we are ready with a solution. We start with cleaning and possibly gluing the frame, after which the wickerwork is replaced with quality materials that match the chair's original expression.
