New premises were required and in one of the new halls, they even built a yacht for Cadovius and a new adventure had seen the day light: shipyard entreprise. The succes was striking: The range of materials for the Royal System grew and counted walnut, mahogany, light and dart oak and the big hit: teak.

This particuler item was one of the first test models for the future Grand President chair. The Grand President chair 265 prototype for the launch in 1968 by Steen Østergaard for Poul Cadovius. The new ideas and the growing succes forced Poul Cadovius to moved Copenhagen, where he established a whole-sale department. It all began with the production of venetian blinds in a small wooden shed some where in Denmark in 1945.Ī young man, Poul Cadovius, had various business ideas and soon he started the production of a shelving system – the famous Royal System.

There is no stamped factory label, nor has it been finished with sanding or coating …. They produced 50 prototypes and apparently 49 was destroyed – the factory manager Fahrenholz rescued the last remaining piece, and this the indeed the grand father of the later President Lounge Chair 265. The Factory was owned by Poul Cadovius and one of the promised architects / designer was Steen Østergaard. He bought it from factory manager at Abstracta, where it was produced. Hans Wegner was born here, Poul Cadovius and Steen Østergaard did produce some of there stunning pieces in our backyard, so for sure this unique piece (the president lounge chair) has a special place in our hearts.īought a at local vintage shop in Tønder we were told that this was an unique piece of design history by the seller.
