Why Choose Seagrass Weaving for Your BC Chairs?


Seagrass weaving combines rustic charm, modern elegance, and environmental responsibility. Sourced from sustainable Asian seagrass, this durable, flexible material is ideal for iconic designs like Gio Ponti ladder-back chairs, Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen’s Soborg Side Chair 316, Børge Mogensen’s Armchair Model 157, Model 537 Oresund chairs, and the timeless J39 “People’s Chair.”

Its unique texture, transitioning from green to warm brown over time, adds character to coastal or mid-century modern interiors, making it a top choice for Vancouver-area homeowners searching for “seagrass chair restoration Canada” or “eco-friendly furniture weaving BC.


At Caning Canada, we specialize in restoring unobstructed chair frames, whether they’re vintage treasures or modern pieces. Have an upholstered chair or one woven in another material? We can convert it to seagrass, creating a lighter, more sustainable look.

As Jean from Ottawa shared, “The quality of the weaving done by David and Laurie on my 1955 Børge Mogensen chairs is superb! The service was equally good… Thank you so much!”

Converting Upholstered Chairs to Seagrass


Got an upholstered chair or one woven in another material? As long as the frame is unobstructed, we can convert it to seagrass, transforming its style and sustainability. This process is perfect for updating mid-century modern or rustic furniture while reducing waste, aligning with Vancouver’s eco-conscious vibe.
