Single Rail Danish Cord Weaving: Timeless Elegance for Any Chair


Our single rail Danish cord weaving is a classic technique that brings understated sophistication to furniture. Often called the basket weave, this method involves wrapping FSC-certified Danish cord around a single rung, creating a durable and visually appealing seat. It’s ideal for Calgary chair restoration projects, from rustic heirlooms to sleek MCM designs.
