Liljen 3208 armchair: construction and work required
The Liljen 3208 armchair was designed by Arne Jacobsen. The Liljen 3208 features a narrow, curved shell and two independent, upward-curving armrests on slender metal supports. The chair stands on four steel legs.
The upholstered armrests are included in this reupholstery job along with the seat and back. Finishing around the arm supports requires precise fitting to the specific version.

You can select Reupholstery of shell and armrests and Restoration of a veneer surface 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 for new covers applies to the selected upholstery type on a usable shell. Full upholstery covers the entire upholstered shell, while front-side upholstery follows the existing interior padding and preserves the exposed rear surface. New filling, converting a bare shell to an upholstered chair, cracks and loose veneer layers are assessed separately. Veneer surface restoration is a separate service and does not include new covers. The metal frame, castors and mechanical functions are not automatically included.
Materials and the appearance you want to preserve
Upholstery fabric, leather, and aniline leather offer different possibilities for surface, color, and wear. The material must fit the curve of the shell and the chosen upholstery type. When restoring visible veneer, the treatment is matched with the existing finish and the condition of the face veneer. A change between veneer, front upholstery, and full upholstery requires a separate assessment.
Photos for assessing Liljen 3208 armchair
Send photos of both armrests from above and below, the edge of the back, and the underside of the seat. Include model markings and information about the existing upholstery.
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.
