In the wake of the launch of the iconic shelving concept, ROYAL SYSTEM® in 1948, Poul Cadovius introduced the SYSTEM ULTRA® in 1957. Crafted from metal instead of wood, the elegant ultra-thin shelves, with a distinctive wave-shaped edge profile, are attached to the rails by hangers in either brass or coloured steel.
The compact Two-Shelf configuration can be placed in any room in the home, perfect for displaying books, decorative accessories and kitchenware. Part of the System Ultra collection.
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.
