A visionary in his approach to wall-mounted furniture, cadovius conceived a suspended modular system that frees up floor space while bringing a sense of lightness and elegance to interiors. This new royal system composition highlights the minimalist aesthetic of 1950s danish design. Its layout combines shelves and storage units into a harmonious whole, where functionality and clean lines blend with refinement. Thanks to its modular mounting system, the various elements can be arranged according to needs and preferences, allowing for the creation of a bookshelf that is as practical as it is architecturally striking. A true icon of postwar design, the royal system exemplifies poul cadovius’s craftsmanship and his innovative vision for wall-mounted storage, combining space optimization, modularity, and scandinavian elegance. This bookcase is exceptionally well-equipped with its diverse modules, each serving a different function. It features a beautiful original patina and is in excellent vintage condition. The drawer fronts have been restored with an eco-label varnish. The shelves and drawers can then be inserted at the desired height using the tool-free “royal system” mounting system: curved black steel rod hooks.
