Syver 3217 swivel armchair: construction and work required
Syver 3217 swivel armchair was designed by Arne Jacobsen. The 3217 features the Series 7 shell, separate armrests, and a swivel base with casters. The model is available in visible veneer, front upholstery, or full upholstery.
The extent of work depends on how much of the shell is upholstered. Wheels, height adjustment and moving parts are checked separately and are not included in the upholstery price.
Choose a service for Syver 3217 swivel armchair
You can select Reupholstery and New cover for front-side upholstery 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 Syver 3217 swivel armchair
Show both sides of the shell, the armrests, castor base and controls beneath the seat. State the current upholstery type and any faults.
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.
