Danish Cord Chair is a simple chair with minimal materials and no unnecessary decorations or addons. The frame is almost just a contour of a chair, and the weaved seat and back is only there where it is needed, just enough to get the comfort of a seating, but nothing more.
Instead of doing a cushion or an upholstered seat, the chair is made with Danish Cord to get an open and lightweight structure. Besides being both strong and soft, Danish Cord has a low climate emission compared to a lot of classic upholstery materials. The steel frame is simple and easy to produce and with the weaved seat and back the chair can be stacked tight, which makes it easier to transport.
The paper rope must be weaved by hand, this gives the chair a soft and homely appearance which contrasts the steel frame. Danish Cord Chair is a meetup between soft and strong, wood and steel, retail and contract market.
