Vintage Danish Modular Teak Wall Unit by Poul Cadovius for Cado, 1960s.
Located in Asaa, DK
Vintage Danish Modular Teak Wall Unit by Poul Cadovius for Cado, 1960s. Mid-Century Modern 5 bay shelving system model Cado. This is a original vintage floating bookcase designed by Danish architect Poul Cadovius. Cadovius had the revolutionary idea to design a floating, modular shelving system that would maximize floor space and signify the end of conformity in shelving. He first designed the model Royal with brass shelf brackets and a few years later the model Cado with wooden shelf brackets. He also named the company Cado. Versatile and flexible floating bookcase that allows for continuous rearranging to suit individual needs. Cabinets and shelves can be placed as desired. This original Cado System is suitable for both living room, home office or library. The cabinet with the drop down door can also function as a secretary desk, and the large shelf can also be used as a desk leaf. Drawer section has three wide drawers, all slides easily. A rare addition to this unit is the two open modules, one for storing albums/records and one with backing in four different colors. All elements can be moved around as desired with the use of tools. This set consists of: 5 Uprights, length 203 cm 1 Upright, length 157.5 cm 1 Chest of drawers, three drawers: 38 x 80 x 42.5 cm 1 Cabinet with sliding doors and 1 adjustable shelf, 38 x 80 x 42.5 cm 1 Open album/record rack, 38 x 80 x 42.5 cm 1 Cabinet with drop down door with four small drawers, 38 x 80 x 42.5 cm 1 Display cabinet with double glass sliding doors, 22 x 80 x 56 cm 1 Harlequin cabinet...

Vintage, New and Antique Bookcases

As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured objects, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase. Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and antique bookcases of the era, rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs, were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.

Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, a bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères

Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement. 

Find your dream bookcase on 1stDibs now.
