Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern 2 bay shelving system model Cado with back panels. 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. Cabinet and shelves can be placed as desired. Suitable for both living room, home office or library.

This two bay wall unit has an almost sculptural appearance with its strict symmetrical lines against the beautiful light Nordic white oak.

The secretary desk cabinet with drop down features four small drawers and a letter organizer. Key included.

This set consists of:
2 Panels, 80 x 171 cm
1 Cabinet, 38 x 80 x 42.5 cm
6 Shelves, depth 30 cm

Very good original vintage condition with only light patina consistent with age and use. All surfaces has been cleaned and re-treated with soap flake solution, ready for use. Beautiful light Nordic white oak. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
