Original Danish 1960s Cado ‘Royal’ Teak Modular Shelf System Wall Unit by Poul Cadovius

A once in a lifetime acquisition, this Danish, 1960s, Cado ‘Royal’ shelf system is a true statement, designed to make a big impact and create the ultimate feature wall. Designed by Poul Cadovius and retailed through Heal’s, London, this system is a very clever piece of engineering with the different modular elements ‘floating’ on the large teak back panels that are secured to the walls. Each piece slots into peg holes without the need for bolts or additional fittings. And this system is huge, comprising of cupboards, bookcases, glass display cabinets, a bureau writing desk and shelves. A multi-faceted, multi-functional piece for display, work and storage that you can configure to suit. Indeed, you could split it into two sections of two, or even use the panels individually. It offers much versatility as well as covering up troublesome walls. This is no ordinary listing as it’s such a large-scale item to describe and photograph but do browse our images and read the condition report. In the right house, in the right space, this would be both an iconic piece of midcentury design to own and love, and a great investment. They’re scarcely seen in the UK.
