Teak One Bay Wall Unit by Poul Cadovius for Cado, Denmark, 1960s

Extremely functional mid-century modular wall unit in teak, designed in the 1960s by Poul Cadovius for Cado, the father of one of the first wall-mounted shelving systems characterized by its flexibility and space-saving qualities.

This presented wall unit features a minimalist design, brilliant carpentry, and attention to detail, especially visible in the nicely integrated handles. The set includes one spacious two-compartment cabinet with sliding doors and four inner pull-out shelves. The height of the shelves in one compartment can be adjusted, and all the shelves can be removed if not needed. Additionally, there is a neat console with two elegant drawers and storage cavities, and two shelves that provide plenty of space to store accessories and display books and decorations.

This shelving system is entirely modular, with all parts measuring 80 cm in width and can be arranged as desired. The shown setup is just an example.

It consists of:
a cabinet with sliding doors: H: 51 / W: 80 / D: 40 cm
a console with drawers: H: 24/ W: 80 / D: 30 cm (drawers height: 10 cm) 
1 shelf: 20 cm deep
1 shelf: 24 cm deep
2 wooden wall rails 197 cm long
brass hangers for mounting

Our team has checked the wall unit. It is in great original condition with minimal signs of use related to its age. We have ensured that all mechanisms and the mounting system work properly and smoothly. The wood has been cleaned and preserved with layers of Danish oil to enhance the beauty of the teak wood grain.
