AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Modular Mid-Century-Modern Wall System "Cado" by Poul Cadovius from Rio Palisander wood

The modular wall system "Cado,” known for its flexible plug-in system, designed by the world-famous Danish furniture designer Poul Cadovius for Cado, is an outstanding example of Danish design from the Mid-Century era.

It is made from noble rosewood from Rio Palisander (Dalbergia nigra), also known as rosewood and Brazilian Jacaranda, one of the finest tropical woods. The piece stands out for its distinctive grain and the warm brown coloration that gives any room a special depth. This system consists of three wall panels and offers a wide range of functional elements.

It includes an integrated, illuminated house bar as well as a secretary desk, both of which are lockable and come with two keys (one original). In addition, the system features a reading and presentation desk as well as a special module for storing vinyl records. The thoughtful construction provides ample storage space for books and art objects.

The wall system is in good condition and bears characteristics that reflect its history since purchase in 1971. The original invoice from that year is available and emphasizes the authenticity of this design classic. This versatile piece of furniture fits seamlessly into modern or classical interiors and offers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. It is ideally suited for living or work areas where stylish storage is desired.

This wonderful, timeless design classic awaits you for self-disassembly/self-pickup, for which I will of course be personally available to assist. As described, the entire module is still mounted on the wall, but will be deinstalled in the coming weeks due to apartment clearance and stored in Düsseldorf-Heerdt, where it can then be picked up by you in person or arranged otherwise (shipping, etc.).
