About the Item

Danish Modular Royal Teak Wall Unit by Poul Cadovius for Cado, 1960s. Mid-Century Modern 4 bay shelving system model Royal. This is an original vintage floating bookcase designed in 1948 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. The Royal System shelving unit went on to win the gold medal at the Finland Furniture Fair in 1950 and silver medal at the XI Triennale di Milano 1957 and remained a hallmark of Scandinavian modern design throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Versatile and flexible floating bookcase that allows for continuous rearranging to suit individual needs. This original Cado Royal System is suitable for both living room, home office or library. The cabinet with the sliding double doors also has one height adjustable shelf. The display cabinet features the original glass doors with etched motifs and one glass shelf. One original fixture with two sliding bookends which can be placed anywhere on the unit. The two short uprights can placed over each other to create a 3 bay unit instead of a 4 bay. All elements can be moved around as desired without the use of tools. This set consists of: 3 Uprights, length 198.5 cm. 1 Upright, length 99 cm. 1 Upright, length 54 cm. 1 Cabinet, 37.5 x 80 x 42.5 cm. 1 Display cabinet, 30 x 80 x 33.5 cm. 1 Shelf, depth 24 cm. 8 Shelves, depth 20 cm. 1 Original double bookend.
