Vintage Design
Mid-Century Modern 3 bay shelving system model Cado. This is a original vintage floating bookcase designed by Danish architect Poul Cadovius.
Cadovius had the revolutionary idea to design a floating, modular shelving system that would maximize floor space and signify the end of conformity in shelving. He first designed the model Royal with brass shelf brackets and a few years later the model Cado with wooden shelf brackets. He also named the company Cado.
Versatile and flexible floating bookcase that allows for continuous rearranging to suit individual needs. Cabinets and shelves can be placed as desired.
This set consists of:
2 Uprights, length 202 cm
1 Upright, length 85.5 cm
1 Upright, length 76.5 cm
2 Cabinets with sliding doors, 46 x 80 x 51.5 cm
2 Shelves, depth 30 cm

This wall unit can be configured as a 2 bay unit by placing the two short uprights on top of each other. The two cabinets each have two adjustable shelves.
