Poul Cadovius home office wall unit with a hidden desk, 1960s

A home office wall unit in teak with a drop-door cabinet, designed by Poul Cadovius for Cado in the 1960s, provides spacious working and storage space. Perfect for the living room or bedroom, this wall unit is an entirely modular shelving system. All elements are 80 cm wide and can be arranged as needed. The lockable cabinet can be used either as a secretaire or a bar cabinet. It features two inner compartments: one providing perfect space for storing a laptop or wines, using a removable bottle rack, and another with a small drawer 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 decorative Cado-made mark is a classic that will never go out of fashion. The engraves "Made in Denmark" on the shelves validate its Scandinavian origin. The unit consists of: 1 shelf W:80 /D: 30 cm 2 shelves W:80 /D: 20 cm A cabinet with lockable drop-down doors H: 42 / W: 80 / D: 37 cm; depth when fully open: 73 cm) Two wooden rails 188 cm long Brass hardware The wall unit has been checked by our team and is in great original vintage condition. We have ensured that the opening mechanism and drawer work smoothly and that all components fit together. We have rejuvenated the wood with Danish oil to enhance the grain. Minor signs of use remain, which do not spoil the aesthetic and only confirm its authenticity.
