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 own workshop. In 1960 he designed for furniture manufacturer Bramin.
I have seen these chairs woven in a cord that is no longer manufactured, woven both one-sided and wrapped under the bottom without the use of Danish nails. We replaced the corded chairs with a Danish paper cord.

Poul Cadiovius PIA Dining Chair
for Royal Persiennen, 1958
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, still 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.
Dimensions:
18.9" W x 19.29" D x 29.53" H | Seat: 17.72" H x 16.54"
