Mid Century Danish 1950s Poul Cadovius Shelving System in Teak Model Royal

SOLD

The Poul Cadovius Royal System is a defining example of Danish mid century modern design, celebrated for its seamless blend of form, function, and lasting appeal. Designed in 1948 by Danish architect Poul Cadovius, it is an icon of Danish Modernism and among the earliest and most influential modular wall mounted furniture systems.

This configuration showcases the Royal System’s exceptional versatility, combining open shelving with integrated storage. It features nine adjustable shelves for books and display, ranging from 20cm to 24cm in depth, along with one deeper 30cm shelf. The composition includes a rare large drop front cabinet with a signature woven veneer front, a large four drawer chest with distinctive sculpted pulls, a sliding door cupboard, and a glazed cabinet fitted with glass shelves.

The wall rails measure 198cm in height, with the option to hang the cabinets slightly lower, extending the total height to approximately 210cm if required. Crafted from old growth teak, the system displays a rich grain and warm patina developed over decades. It has been meticulously hand restored, preserving its original character while maintaining its authentic 70 year old patina and highlighting both exceptional craftsmanship and the natural beauty of aged timber. Perfectly suited to contemporary living, the system can easily adapt and evolve with your changing needs.

The Royal System remains highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and continues to influence contemporary modular furniture.
