Danish cord weaving-Make a classic Danish Bench Stool
Danish cord weaving course. Danish cord weaving is a great skill to master. The
classic look comes from the Danish furniture designer Hans Wegner, the style of
weaving cord has a cool mid century look, and has had a massive rebound in
modern day furniture and interior design.
What makes Danish cord weaving unique is the fact its NOT a manufactured
machining process. All weaving is by hand by a person, this alone makes these
much desired pieces of furniture, stand out in this massive production based
world. Truly a unique handmade, bespoke design, with great mass appeal.
The course is 2 days, you will be provided with the base bench frame premade in
Solid oak.
During the first day we will finish the stool, we will show types of wood
finishing i.e oil, lacquer etc.. and prepare for the weaving process. We will
talk in length and demonstrate Danish cord weaving, and a overview of the making
of the stool frame.
During day two you will spend the day weaving your stool to completion, by the
end of the day you will have a beautiful stool to take home and admire your new
found skill.
