Poul Cadovius home office teak shelving unit with hidden desk for Cado, 1960s
Description
This minimalist wall system was designed by Poul Cadovius for Cado in the 1960s.
It’s designed as a home office solution. Simply close the doors to put work or study out of sight and maintain a tidy look in the living room or bedroom. The lockable desk with inner drawers and compartments allows you to store your laptop, documents, office supplies and personal belongings in one place—always within reach and securely protected.
Made from teak wood and teak veneer—materials known for their warm color, durability, and longevity—it is built to last for many more decades. The beautifully woven front of the cabinet not only showcases the mastery of Danish craftsmanship but is also a hallmark of Cadovius’ designs.
Its space-saving design makes it perfect for small apartments. Additionally, this shelving system is fully modular, offering a variety of configuration options to suit your needs. The assembly system is simple and intuitive, with shelves mounted on solid wood rails using brass hangers, or, for a cabinet, on metal pins.
The set includes:
- a drop-front door cabinet/a hidden desk: H: 42 / W: 80 / D: 38 cm (depth when fully opened: 72 cm, drawers height: 4 cm)
- 3 shelves: W: 80 cm / D: 20 cm
- 1 shelf: W: 80 / D: 24 cm
- 2 solid wood montage rails, each 200 cm long
Despite the passage of time, the wall unit is in excellent original condition. Minor traces of use are typical for furniture of this age. The engraving “made in Denmark” on the back of the shelves confirm the authenticity of their origin. The wood has been cleaned and finished with layers of Danish oil to enhance its natural beauty.
