Vintage wall shelf Royl System by Poul Cadovius 1948

Wall bookcase, modular shelves designed by the famous Danish interior designer Poul Cadovius in 1948, in teak. Called Royal System®, this concept of modular shelving was designed to find an alternative to the traditional heavy and bulky storage furniture. With this new possibility of hanging the furniture on the wall, Poul Cadovius has made it possible to free up floor space and allow everyone to choose their storage modules according to their needs. Here 1 wooden panel + 4 shelves. The panel is fixed directly to the wall, for this purpose it is leaned against wooden strips, one at the top and one at the bottom. Then finishing strips are to be placed on the visible part at the top and bottom in order to hide the fixing screws. The panel as well as the shelves are original and were part of a larger batch stamped Royal System, Denemark (see photo), the shelves are stamped on the edge in wood Made in Denemark, note that we provide you with cleats and strips but they are not original, they are not to the precise dimensions so they will have to be cut again. The furniture is in good condition, there are however some traces of wear and tear and a general patina in accordance with the age and use. Precision: the label visible on the photo indicating Royal System is not part of this lot because the complete original set has been dissociated in several parts, but we guarantee its authenticity.
