Kvadrat Steelcut Trio 3 is a premium wool upholstery textile widely regarded as one of the best modern alternatives to classic Hopsak upholstery. Designed by Frans Dijkmeijer and refined by Giulio Ridolfo, the fabric features a distinctive three-dimensional weave created from three differently coloured yarns. This construction gives the textile a rich texture, subtle depth and exceptional durability. Thanks to its robust structure and refined appearance, Steelcut Trio 3 is an outstanding choice for reupholstering Vitra Aluminium Group chairs, closely capturing the character of traditional Hopsak while offering the performance of a high-quality contemporary contract fabric.

As part of the refurbishment process, the aluminium frame can be carefully restored to bring back its original appearance.
Aluminium frames can be professionally polished, restoring the natural shine of the metal and bringing the frame back to a clean, high-gloss finish similar to the original Vitra look.
Alternatively, the frame can be powder coated in original Vitra colours. This creates a durable, even finish that closely matches the finishes used by Vitra on new Aluminium Group chairs.
Each frame is fully prepared and refinished with attention to detail to ensure a high-quality and long-lasting result.

What does refurbished mean?
Refurbished means that the chair has been carefully restored to extend its lifespan while preserving the original design. Each chair is inspected, cleaned and professionally reupholstered where needed. Aluminium components can be polished or refinished to restore their appearance, and worn parts are replaced when necessary.
Are the chairs original Vitra products?
Yes. The chairs we refurbish are original Vitra products. We restore existing chairs and bring them back to excellent condition while maintaining their authentic design and construction.
What upholstery fabrics do you use?
We use high-quality upholstery textiles suitable for intensive use. For many Vitra Aluminium Group chairs we use fabrics such as Kvadrat Steelcut Trio, which offers a texture and durability comparable to classic Hopsak upholstery.
Can the aluminium frame be restored?
Yes. Aluminium frames can be professionally polished to restore their natural shine. Alternatively, frames can be powder coated in original Vitra colours, such as Deep Black, Dark Bordeaux or Chalk.
Are refurbished chairs as durable as new ones?
Yes. Our refurbishment process focuses on restoring both the appearance and functionality of the chair. By using high-quality materials and careful craftsmanship, refurbished chairs are ready for many more years of use.
Do you ship across Europe?
