Description
A beautifully preserved example of Danish modern design, this two-bay Poul Cadovius wall-mounted shelving system showcases the timeless elegance and versatility that made Cadovius a pioneer in modular furniture. Crafted in rich teak, the system features:
– A set of drawers (80cm W x 37.5cm D x 42cm H) offering practical storage with clean, minimalist lines
– A cabinet with sliding teak doors (80cm W x 37.5cm D x 42cm H), ideal for concealing everyday items with style
– Two glazed display cabinets — one measuring 80cm W x 24cm D x 34cm H, the other 80cm W x 34cm D x 50cm H — perfect for showcasing treasured objects or collections
– A drop-front drinks cabinet (80cm W x 37.5cm D x 42cm H) with a striking basket weave veneered door — a standout detail that adds texture and visual interest
– A deep shelf (80cm W x 37.5cm D), ideal for books, art, or decorative pieces
– Three original teak support poles, each 198cm in height
Each component is fully adjustable and can be reconfigured across the bays to suit your space and needs, embodying the modular spirit of Cadovius’s original vision. With only one careful owner since the early 1970s, this system has been lovingly maintained and remains in excellent vintage condition — a true collector’s piece that blends function with sculptural beauty.
In good pre- loved condition with just the odd scratch or bruise commensurate with age. There is a small chip to the corner of one of the glass doors which is not really noticeable and does not affect use. The previous owner has customised the interior of the drinks cabnet with some mirrored mosaic tiles which have a bit of foxing in places and also put mirrored glass on the back of the smaller display cabinet.
Why Buy Me? I’ve been quietly holding it all together since the early ’70s — books, booze, and beautiful things. I’m stylish, flexible, and teak-tough. Rearrange me, admire me and fill me with treasures.
