Mid-Century Modern 3 bay shelving system model … more Danish Modern 3-Bay Modular Teak Wall Unit by Poul Cadovius for Cado, 1960s.
Mid-Century Modern 3 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 drop down woven front has one wide height adjustable shelf, key is included. The cabinet with the sliding double doors also has one height adjustable shelf. The smaller console module has two small drawers.
All elements can be moved around as desired without the use of tools.

4 Uprights in solid teak, length 198 cm.
2 Cabinets, 37.5 x 80 x 42.5 cm.
