Vintage “Cado” wall unit in rosewood and teak by Poul Cadovius, 1950

Danish designer Poul Cadovius conceived this shelving system in the late 1950s. In addition to the shelves, a wide range of other elements were available: modules with sliding doors, drawers, flaps, reading tables, etc... And all in three types of wood: rosewood, teak and blond oak. The customers who sold me this piece of furniture bought it in 1959 at the Salon de l'Ameublement in Paris, and it hasn't moved from one place to another since! This piece of furniture comprises : - 16 shelves - 1 slim module with two drawers - 1 module with sliding door and interior shelf - 1 module with sliding door, 2 drawers and 1 interior shelf - 5 uprights In the '80s, an additional set of shelves was added, made by a cabinetmaker on the same model. It's not in the photos, but the extra shelves and upright are supplied with it, at no extra cost. Reference : 312334
