Danish Butterfly Wall Shelf attributed to Poul Cadovius for Cado, 1950s

Danish wall shelf Butterfly designed by Poul Cadovius in 1958. It was manufactured by Cado from a single piece of steam-bent teak plywood. The design emerged by chance when Cadovius was experimenting with bending steel plates, resulting in the graceful, curved supports. It deliberately mimics the lightness and elegance of butterfly wings, making it both functional and decorative. This early version is in very nice condition.
