Part of the SYSTEM ULTRA® modular shelving family, Cadovius’ 1958 design contributed to a pioneering breakthrough in changing furniture design. A simple yet genius basic principle, the system was developed with the same space-saving, flexible design as the ROYAL SYSTEM®, based on the innovative idea of moving the furniture off the floor onto the walls, leaving more space in the room.
Crafted from smooth powder-coated metal, the 8 Shelf configuration is perfect for storing a library of books in a living room or study, or for displaying a unique collection of decorative accessories and objects in a bedroom space.
Poul Cadovius was born in Frederiksberg in 1911 and was originally trained as a saddler and upholsterer. He was a colourful and successful designer with a marked influence on the Danish furniture industry and furniture design - both in his own time and later. In 1948, Poul Cadovius designed the shelving system ROYAL SYSTEM®, which through the 50s, 60s and 70s perhaps was the largest furniture success Danish furniture industry has ever had. Poul Cadovius died in 2011 at the age of 99, during his life he managed to register over 400 individual patents, and we are proud to ensure that his legacy lives on.
