Pia Counter Stool

When Poul Cadovius developed the Pia Chair in 1959, his ambition was to create a chair that captured the times yet remained remarkably light, both visually and physically.

Each stool features thin, conical-shaped solid wood legs with a hand-sanded rounding at the top and finger-joined front legs. The seat is made of hand-woven paper cord. The moulded backrest and the footrest ensure solid support and comfort when seated.

Designer Poul Cadovius (1911-2011) trained as an upholsterer before founding his furniture company, Royal System, in 1945. His idea was to move furniture off the floor and onto the walls, leaving more space in the room, and it gave rise to Royal System (1948), System Ultra (1957) and System Cado (1960). Over his career he held more than 400 patents. In 2009, at the age of 98, he was approached by DK3 founder Jacob Plejdrup to relaunch Royal System, and today DK3 holds the licences for all three systems and the Pia Chair. Brand
