I got one of these chairs, and I want to restore the woven seagrass seat. But I don't know what diameter seagrass cord would be the most correct. It comes in a wide variety of diameters:
00 - 3/32 inch
0 - 1/8 inch
1 - 9/64 inch
2 - 11/64 inch
3 - 3/16 inch
4 - 1/4 inch
5 - 5/16 inch
Anybody know what Søborg used originally?
I found them together. I...
I found them together. I have an incredibly comfortable Eric Buck #50 arm chair that I currently use.
When I've got the Hvidt & Mølgaard restored (It needs a cleaning badly, and the upholster is a joke), I will have to see if the seagrass is as comfortable as a floating seat.
I did a set of these
a long time ago. I don't remember the exact diameter of the original cord, I just remember that when I went to order it, it wasn't available so I settled for a much smaller diameter cord. It was ok but I wouldn't do it now.
I think 3/16" is about what the original was just from what I remember of the look of it. You might want a more accurate answer than that, though. (haha)
Are there any detail shots on Dibs where you could calculate the cord diameter?
