Set of Danish minimalist model Pia teak dining chairs with paper cord seats by Poul Cadovius for Royal Persiennen, 1958

These Danish minimalist first edition Pia dining chairs were designed by Poul Cadovius for the brand Royal Persiennen in 1958. Royal Persiennen also produced the first edition of the famous 'Royal System' shelving system, which was also designed by Poul Cadovius in the same year, later produced by Cado. The Pia chairs feature frames made from teakwood with conical-shaped legs and classical timber joints. The backrests are made of molded teak plywood. Both chairs have the original hand-woven seats of paper cord. Manufacturer's labels are no longer present, which is common for pieces of this age and does not affect their authenticity. Both chairs are originals from the early edition, executed in the late 1950s to early 1960s by the former Danish high-quality manufacturer Royal Persiennen.
