Danish Cord Weaving Workshop
Craft a bench that blends tradition, comfort, and timeless design
While solid wood furniture has its own lasting beauty, it becomes even more striking when paired with complementary materials. One of the finest examples is the art of weaving Danish Cord seats — a technique that brings both comfort and style to chairs and benches.
For nearly a century, Danish Cord has been the hallmark of Danish Modern and Mid-Century Modern design. This durable material, made from three strands of twisted paper, is admired for its strength, beauty, and the intricate patterns it creates.
You will Learn
In this engaging four-day class, held over two weekends, master craftsman David Fleming will guide you through the complete process of weaving a double side rail Danish Cord seat — done without nails or staples.
Each participant receives:
A hardwood bench frame (19″ L × 16″ W × 19″ H)
A generous 2-pound coil of authentic Danish Cord
All necessary materials and tools
