Design by Poul Cadovius, 1959
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. The Pia Bar Stool and Pia
Counter Stool carry on this legacy, embracing a “less is more” philosophy and
showcasing the same refined elegance as the original Pia Chair.
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.
Whether at a kitchen counter or at a bar, the Pia Counter Stool and Pia Bar Stool embody both comfort, refinement and timeless Danish design - just as Poul Cadovius envisioned over half a century ago.

Important information
The Pia Counter Stool and the Pia Bar Stool are made from different natural materials such as solid wood and veneer, which means the appearance may vary on each individual chair and from chair to chair. The walnut version is crafted from European walnut, which has more variation in color and structure compared to the American walnut used for our other furniture. As a result, this version will show more visible variation.
Paper cord is a natural material, which may vary in thickness. Variation in number of windings may also occur.
To prevent damage to the chair legs, we recommend the use of chair glides.
