the overall set size is h: 148 / w: 83.5 / d: 40 cm.

the lockable cabinet can be used either as a secretaire or a bar cabinet. It features perfect space for storing a laptop, and two small drawers for accessories. Typical of cadovius’s design, the front finish with thin teak strips is found in most of his wall units, as well as in pieces like the governor sofa. This very decorative cado-made mark is a classic that will never go out of fashion.  all elements are 80 cm wide and can be arranged as needed. Perfect for the living room or home office, this wall unit is an entirely modular shelving system. 

the unit consists of:

- 1 shelf: 20 cm deep
- a cabinet with lockable drop-down doors h: 51/ w: 80 / d: 40 cm (depth when fully open: 85 cm, drawer's height 4 cm)
- 2 wooden rails 148 cm long
- brass hardware

the wall unit has been checked by our team. The opening mechanism and drawers work smoothly, and all components fit together. There are solid teak pegs covering the holes that are most likely not original. We have rejuvenated the wood and finished it with danish oil to enhance the wood grain. An original "made in denmark" stamp and producer label are preserved. Minor signs of use remain, but overall it is in great original vintage condition.  this piece has an attribution mark,
