Canvas 21 Chair: construction and work required
The Canvas 21 Chair was designed by Børge Mogensen. The Canvas 21 features a light wooden frame with round posts, stretched canvas, and brass fittings. The seat, back, and narrow arm straps can be replaced as independent parts.
The tension of the canvas and seams are part of the load-bearing structure. This is the compact Canvas 21, originally BM2221 and now model 2021, not Canvas Chair 2031.

You can select New canvas for seat and back and Restoration of wooden frame as a starting point in the price selector. The quote concerns your own furniture. If several jobs are needed, they are described together in the quote; selections in the price selector are not automatically added together.
The starting price applies to new load-bearing canvas for the seat and back, cut and sewn to fit the chair's existing suspension. The work assumes a usable frame. Fittings, straps, structural repairs, and any arm straps are priced separately. No foam is inserted into the stretched canvas.
Materials and the appearance you want to preserve
Linen canvas is chosen with the strength and weave that the load-bearing construction requires. Color, shrinkage, seams, and attachment are clarified before cutting. A standard upholstery fabric is not automatically suitable as a replacement. The patina and finish of the wood surface are coordinated separately.
The wooden frame can be assessed for restoration at the same time as the seat or cushions. Specify if you wish to preserve the current tone and visible signs of wear. The shown price for the wooden frame is an independent starting point; major damage or replacement of parts requires a specific quote.
Photos for assessing Canvas 21 Chair
Show the chair from all sides, the arm straps and the canvas attachment around the posts. Include labelling and specify which textile parts are worn.
A photo of the markings or model number helps identify the version. State the number of pieces of furniture, previous repairs, and the issues you experience during use. Take photos calmly and with enough light so that both edges and details can be seen.
Starting price and agreement before work
All prices are indicative starting prices per piece of furniture, including VAT. Material consumption, quality, and the actual condition of the furniture can change the final amount. Work is only initiated once materials, scope, and price have been agreed upon in a specific quote. The timing for drop-off and completion is clarified in the same process.
Collection and delivery are agreed separately. See also prices for furniture service, or send images and describe your job.
