Pia Chair
Designed by Poul Cadovius in 1953, The Pia Chair features the thin, conical-shaped solid wooden legs give a light visual expression, which is further emphasized by two fine details; the hand-sanded rounding at the top of the back legs, and the finger joined front legs. The seat is made of hand-woven paper cord, and the backrest is moulded, which gives an optimal seating comfort. It takes two hours just to hand-weave the seat, so the making of the chair is a time-consuming process which requires patience and high accuracy.

Information regarding Pia Chair
The over-all wood experience with the Pia Chair can in general vary on each single chair and from chair to chair, because we unite natural materials such as solid wood (the frame) and veneered wood (the backrest) both vertically and horizontally. In addition, the walnut version of the Pia Chair is made of European walnut, where the rest of our walnut furniture is made of US walnut. The US walnut is more consistent than the European walnut. The latter is more wild and inconsistent and therefore more variation in color and structure must be expected.
We reccomend the use of glide or felt nails to maintain the integrity of the chair.
