REUPHOLSTERY · ARNE JACOBSEN · 1955

Reupholstering the Series 7
model 3107.

The Series 7 is the most reupholstered chair in Denmark, and the one we have done the most of. The seat and back get a new cover in leather or fabric, while the shell and frame are kept.

ABOUT THE WORK

How we reupholster
the Series 7.

The Series 7 chair, model 3107, was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 for Fritz Hansen and is one of the most recognisable chairs in Danish design. The moulded shell lasts for decades, but the cover wears, cracks or goes out of fashion. Reupholstery gives the chair a new life for a fraction of the price of a new one.

We remove the old cover, straighten the shell if it is loose in the frame, and upholster the seat and back again. The cover is cut and sewn to the shape of the chair, so the seams sit where Fritz Hansen would put them. If the chair has armrests, they are upholstered too.

If you choose leather, we advise on aniline, semi-aniline and types of leather suited to use at the dining table. If you choose fabric, you can pick from wool, bouclé and upholstery fabric from Kvadrat and other Danish suppliers. We are happy to send samples.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently asked
questions.

What does it cost to reupholster a Series 7 chair?

Reupholstering the Series 7 costs from DKK 1,500 up to DKK 2,800 per chair incl. VAT, depending on the cover and the condition of the chair. The price depends on the chosen material, and chairs with armrests cost more. Write to us with a picture and you get a fixed price.

How long does reupholstery take?

The delivery time depends on the piece, the material and how many pieces we have in the workshop. We give an expected delivery time once we have seen the piece and the material has been chosen.

Do you collect and deliver furniture?

Yes. Furniture can be dropped off in our stores in Copenhagen K, Østerbro, Roskilde and Aalborg or collected by arrangement. Delivery on Zealand and to Funen, Jutland and islands with a bridge is agreed together with the quote.

Can you reupholster copies and furniture from other manufacturers?

Yes. We reupholster design furniture from Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Søn, Erik Jørgensen and other manufacturers as well as ordinary sofas and chairs. The prices on this page apply to the original models; other furniture is quoted from pictures.

Which materials can I choose?

Aniline and semi-aniline leather from Sørensen Leather in many colours, wool and bouclé from Danish suppliers and hard-wearing upholstery fabrics. We advise on what suits the piece and how much it is used.

Can I buy a reupholstered chair instead?

Yes. In the online shop we sell used and newly reupholstered Series 7 chairs and other classics straight away, and we also buy used design furniture.
