Poul Cadovius easy chairs
This very rare pair of easy chairs was designed by Poul Cadovius and produced by France & Son in Denmark during the 1960s. The chairs are a distinguished example of mid-century Scandinavian design, combining the functional, minimalist aesthetic of the period with the refined craftsmanship characteristic of Danish modern furniture.
The chairs feature a rich rosewood frame, a material highly valued for its deep, warm tones and striking grain patterns. The rosewood construction provides both a strong structural base and a visually captivating design element. The chairs have been newly reupholstered in a high-quality linen fabric, which enhances their comfort and complements the natural beauty of the wood. The clean lines and comfortable design are a testament to Cadovius’ expertise in creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing furniture.
In terms of condition, the chairs are in excellent vintage condition, with the frame having been well maintained and the upholstery recently replaced to ensure both comfort and visual appeal. The newly upholstered linen fabric adds a fresh, contemporary feel while still maintaining the integrity of the original design.
Poul Cadovius was a highly regarded Danish designer, known for his innovative and functional approach to design. He is particularly famous for his modular shelving systems, but his work across different furniture types, including these chairs, is equally respected for its thoughtful use of materials and clear, elegant lines. France & Son, a prominent Danish furniture producer, was well known for collaborating with top designers and producing high-quality mid-century modern furniture.
