Description
The rosewood wall unit on panels designed by Poul Cadovius for Cado in the 1960s is an iconic example of mid-century modern design. Cadovius, a renowned Danish designer, revolutionized furniture design with his innovative, modular shelving systems that combined functionality with minimalist aesthetics.
Crafted from luxurious rosewood, known for its rich grain and deep, warm tones, the wall unit features three large panels that mount directly onto the wall. The rosewood veneer highlights the wood’s natural beauty, giving it a distinctive, high-end look. Attention to detail is evident in the sleek edges, precise joinery, and the elegant way of attaching the shelves and cabinets. This craftsmanship ensures both durability and a refined appearance.
The wall unit includes shelves of varying depths, a cabinet with sliding doors, and an expository shelf, making it ideal for displaying books, decorative items, or storing office essentials. One of the standout features of Cadovius’s design is its modularity. The shelves and cabinet can be rearranged effortlessly, allowing users to customize the layout according to their needs. Mounted on panels rather than a floor-standing base, the design also saves floor space.
The wall unit consists of:
- 3 back panels: H: 235 / W: 80 cm
- 1 cabinet: H: 51 / W: 80 / D: 46 cm
- 5 shelves: W: 80 / D: 22 cm
- 2 shelves: W: 80 / D: 30 cm
- 1 expository shelf: W: 80 / D: 35 cm
Despite the passage of time, the wall unit remains in excellent original condition. It shows light sun fading. The panels have been refinished with a fresh layer of lacquer, enhancing the rosewood’s natural beauty. Original “made in Denmark” stickers are preserved on the back of the shelves, certifying the authentic origin of this iconic piece.
