How much weight can the chair support?

Can I replace the paper cord seat?

Yes, the paper cord seat can be replaced by a professional craftsperson if it becomes damaged or worn after many years of service.

Troubleshooting

Seat feels slightly loose or saggy after years of use

The paper cord is a natural material that may relax over time; avoid placing heavy items on the seat when not in use to maintain tension.

Visible dust trapped in paper cord weave

Use a low-suction vacuum with a soft upholstery brush to gently lift dirt from between the cord rows.

Minor scuffs on painted beech frame

Contact the manufacturer or a professional wood restorer to source touch-up paint specifically formulated for the Soft Edition colors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, world-recognized design icon
  • Exceptional build quality and durability
  • Environmentally friendly FSC-certified materials
  • Ergonomically shaped for long-term comfort
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for dining or accent use

Cons

  • Paper cord seat is susceptible to spills and staining
  • Requires professional care for deep cleaning
  • Higher price point reflecting artisan labor
  • Non-upholstered surface may feel hard for long periods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The CH24 arrives fully assembled, requiring no tools for setup. When placing the chairs, ensure they are used on level flooring to maintain the balance of the wooden frame. Compatibility is high, as the 70 cm armrest height fits under most modern dining tables.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid placing the chair in direct, harsh sunlight to prevent fading of the matte paint.
  • For the paper cord seat, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust.
  • In case of spills, dab immediately with a dry, clean cloth; do not rub, as this pushes debris into the cord fibers.
  • Avoid heavy chemical cleaners; use a damp cloth with mild soap only if absolutely necessary for wooden surfaces.
