The simplicity is paired here with perfect carpentry and beautiful, profound rosewood grain.

overall size is h: 198 / w: 164 / d: 38 cm.

the choice of rosewood, which is one of the most expensive and rare woods, makes it a standout piece also for the most luxurious apartments. The nicely integrated, nearly invisible handles sculpted in solid wood, along with the sleek, frame-like profile surrounding the drawers, are characteristic of cadovius’ designs. all the drawers are made with dovetail joinery. This wall system is fully modular, offering a variety of configuration options to suit your needs.  adjustable shelves mounted on solid wood rails using solid rosewood brackets allow for the display of personal items or art, regardless of size. the simple, angular silhouette with almost no ornamentation or embellishments makes it a perfect addition to any type of interior.

the set includes:
- a dresser: h: 42 / w: 80 / d: 38 cm (internal height of the drawers, starting from the top: 7 cm, 11 cm, 14.5 cm),
- 6 shelves: 20 cm depth,
- a deskshelf 38 cm depth,
- 3 rosewood montage rails, each 198 cm long,
- metal hardware.

despite the passage of nearly six decades, this piece remains in perfect original condition. The drawers are clean and operate smoothly, and the wood has been cleaned and treated with professional compounds to enhance its natural beauty. The engraving “made in denmark” located on the back of the shelves and rails confirms the authenticity of the furniture’s origin. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
