Story

The Pia Chair, designed by Poul Cadovius, is not only an independent design object, but an integral part of the visionary "Royal System" design, which revolutionized Danish design in the 1950s.

When Cadovius created the "Royal System," his aim was to develop a modular and flexible concept that would enrich any living space with timeless elegance and functionality. The Pia Chair was designed as a harmonious complement and could be ordered directly from the catalog at the time, along with the modular shelving systems.

The seat of the Pia Chair is made of hand-woven Craft Cord, a classic detail of Scandinavian design tradition that combines robustness and lightness.
The frame, crafted from exquisite teak, impresses with its clean lines and the signature sculptural, tapered legs that bear Cadovius' mark. The ergonomic backrest ensures comfort and reflects a design philosophy that prioritizes both aesthetics and function.

An authentic piece of design history that will delight both collectors and lovers of Scandinavian minimalism.
