Replacement Elastic Cords for René Herbst 304 Armchair

Bring new life to your René Herbst 304 Armchair with this complete set of 48 replacement elastic cords. Specially designed to match the original design of the chair, these cords provide the right level of support, elasticity, and comfort while maintaining the authentic Bauhaus style that makes this piece so iconic. Over time, the original cords may lose their stretch, become too loose, or wear out with daily use. With this replacement set, you can easily restore the chair to its original strength and look, ensuring many more years of enjoyment.

Each cord is made of high-quality elastic and is covered in black cotton, which gives a refined finish while also protecting the elastic for longer durability. The cords come with metal spring hooks already attached, making them easy to install on your chair without special tools. Simply replace the old cords and hook the new ones in place.

The set includes 48 cords in total, carefully divided to fit each part of the chair. For the backrest, there are 18 cords measuring 36 cm each. For the seat, you will find 18 cords at 32 cm. Finally, the armrests require 12 cords, also 32 cm long. This division ensures the correct tension for every part of the armchair.

These cords are made for frames with a hole-to-hole distance of 45.5 cm between the seat, backrest, and armrest. Using them on a chair with different spacing may cause the seat or backrest to feel either too soft or too firm. When fitted correctly, they recreate the perfect balance of comfort and support intended by René Herbst’s original design.

Replacing the cords not only improves comfort but also keeps the chair looking clean, modern, and true to its Bauhaus roots. Whether you own the René Herbst 304 as a collector’s piece or as a functional design chair for everyday use, this set of replacement cords is the best way to maintain its value and usability.
