Multipurpose and flexible, the Desk and Shelf unit create both a practical storage area and study space; ideal for interior environments where space is limited. Part of the SYSTEM ULTRA® modular shelving family, Cadovius contributed to a pioneering breakthrough in changing furniture design; moving furniture off the floor and onto the wall, leaving more space in the room. Crafted from smooth powder-coated metal, with ultra-thin shelves defined by a wave-shaped edge profile, attached to the rails by sleek black hangers, the compact unit is ideal for placing in a bedroom, living room or study 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.
