Chair repairs in Florence

Classical weaving is the most traditional technique. It has often been used in the past but is still alive today in furniture where the desire is to bring back a family atmosphere as well as an ancient dimension. This technique involves the weaving of straw or other material used directly on the structure of the seat, allowing you to create classic weaving or patterns reminiscent of a chessboard.

The Viennese wrap-around, also made by hand, gives a different effect thanks to the technique used to produce it. It can actually be done in two different ways. Both however require holes to be inserted on the inside of the chair. In this traditional technique, the chair is in an upturned position, and the straws are passed through the holes of the chair in order to achieve the characteristic twisted weave effect. The other way of doing it is to do the weaving separately. Her it is as if the weaving is actual embroidery. Then fastening it to the bottom of the seat by means of a a wire finishing.

These are both antique craft techniques, which are unfortunately slowly disappearing today. As the Martini family, we are committed to continue living this tradition.
