Dining chairs need new rope weaving
The 12 year old chairs were from Ikea and appealed to us a lot because of their looks and comfort. The stainless steel frame is covered with a weaving of paper based string which has torn in a few places. Rather than dumping the lot at the tip we would love to see them restored. I was thinking of using 5mm synthetic blind rope to reweave the frames and I’m looking for some help with this project (Brisbane, Australia).
Can you help in any way? Can you think of someone who might be able to help? Can you think of a more suitable group or forum for this posting?
Thank you for your time and thoughts.
Chris

thank you very much for the link
Hi Ian,
thank you very much for the link, it leads to a lot of very useful information.
Since our chairs are not antiques but made out of stainless steel tubing I wouldn’t mind to try for long-levity (?) some suitable synthetic cord so I’ll need to research this area some more.
Also I wonder how to find someone with a bit of spare time who would like to help with the weaving. I wouldn’t be able to afford expensive commercial hourly rates but perhaps some arrangements could be found.
Again, thank you Ian
Chris
