The Pia Chair was designed on a ‘less is more’ concept, with a focus on the least possible material consumption whilst still maintaining a high level of detail and comfort. Defined by a slender wooden frame with a curvaceous backrest that provides the user with optimal seating comfort.
Finished with an intricately hand-woven paper cord seat, a time-consuming process which requires patience and high accuracy, the distinctive contrast in materials and texture creates a stunning, timeless design.
Poul Cadovius was born in Frederiksberg in 1911 and was originally trained as a saddler and upholsterer. He was a colourful and successful designer with a marked influence on the Danish furniture industry and furniture design - both in his own time and later. In 1948, Poul Cadovius designed the shelving system ROYAL SYSTEM®, which through the 50s, 60s and 70s perhaps was the largest furniture success Danish furniture industry has ever had. Poul Cadovius died in 2011 at the age of 99, during his life he managed to register over 400 individual patents, and we are proud to ensure that his legacy lives on.
