Beautiful wall-mounted modular bookshelf by the famous danish architect, poul cadovius, in rosewood veneer. This bookcase, mounted on 4 wall-mounted panels, includes numerous shelves, two sliding-door racks, a drawer rack and two magazine racks. Scandinavian work from the 1960s. The modular system by poul cadovius (1911-2011), the famous danish interior designer, is one of the great classics of scandinavian design. Created in 1948, it was one of the very first wall systems to propose the novel idea of not cluttering the floor. In the 1950s, poul cadovius was already working on a storage system that would provide maximum functionality while allowing the atmosphere of each interior to be personalized. He was looking for a modular system that was easy to assemble, offered many possible combinations and didn't clutter up the living space. Poul cadovius invented the "royal system": shelving units with infinite combinations of a set of standard elements. The "royal system" was a huge worldwide success, thanks to its lightness and modularity, making it adaptable to any interior. He went on to design the "cado" model we present here. The principle has been adopted by many manufacturers, but the "cado" version of poul cadovius' "royal system" is the original model, of unrivalled quality.
