Poul Cadiovius 1911 - 2011
Poul Cadovius was born in Frederiksberg in 1911. Originally trained as a saddler and upholster, Cadovius became interested in industrial design and established his furniture manufacturing company Royal Systems in 1945.
Cadovius purchased France & Son in the 1960s, which was credited with the industrialization of teak furniture production. Cadovius renamed the company CADO.
Poul Cadovius designed the Pia Dining Chair for Royal Persiennen in 1958 and launched the chair in 1959.
He wanted to create a chair in the spirit of the time, inspired by other design chairs of the fifties, but lighter and more "petite," both in physical weight and design expression.
The chair design has a "less is more" concept, focusing on the least possible material consumption while maintaining a high level of detail and excellent comfort.
The thin, conical-shaped solid wooden legs give a light visual expression, emphasized by two fine details; the hand-sanded rounding at the top of the back legs and the finger-joined front legs. The woven laced natural Danish cord seat provides further depth and charter, and the backrest is moulded, providing optimal seating comfort.
Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard Woven Pieces
Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907-1993) were pioneers of Danish mid-century design and the founders of Copenhagen-based firm Hvidt & Mølgaard.
Peter Hvidt was born in 1916. He studied at the School of Arts & Crafts in Copenhagen and then taught there from 1942 until 1945.
Orla Molgaard-Nielsen, born in 1907, studied at the Aalborg Technical School before moving on to the School of Arts & Crafts
Arne Hovmand-Olsen Woven Pieces
Danish furniture designer Arne Hovmand-Olsen was born in Kirkeby Sogn in 1919; passed away in 1989.
Arne began a cabinetry apprenticeship with the cabinetmaker Peder Olsen Sibast at his furniture factory.
Hovmand-Olsen enrolled in a technical school specializing in furniture design in Århus in 1941. After graduating, he established his furniture studio, creating designs in the Scandinavian modern style.
Hovmand-Olsen’s designs were simple in form, with clean lines, organic curves, and tapered legs.
Notable designs include his Model 175 Chair (1955)—which is often mistaken for N.O. Møller’s Model 77 Chair, due to their similar forms
Hovmand-Olsen designed furniture for Alf Juul Rasmussen, A. R. Klingenberg & Søn, Bramin, Elven Geertsen, J.L. Møller, Jutex, Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik, P. Mikklesen, Pedersen & Knap, and Skovmand & Andersen.
H W Klein for Bramin 1919 -
Henry Walter Klein was born in Norway in 1919.
Klein studied at the Technical School of Denmark, where Finn Juhl taught. In 1959, he finished his design studies and founded his workshop.
In 1960 he designed for furniture manufacturer Bramin.
I have seen these chairs woven in a cord that is no longer manufactured, one-sided and wrapped under the bottom without Danish nails. We replaced the corded chairs with a Danish paper cord.
