Dating back to the 1960s, this highly sought-after 4-bay mid-century shelving unit displays the iconic modular design synonymous with Poul Cadovius, originally created for Cado in Denmark. The adjustable nature of the wall unit allows for a customized arrangement of cabinets and shelves, providing both practical storage solutions and a visually appealing display.

The unit has 7 sections:

  • 2 floating shelves
  • Record display section
  • Glass-front display section
  • Drop-down with horizontal interior shelving
  • Drop-down with vertical interior shelving
  • Three-drawer section

This particular design is quite rare as the unit is freestanding, while the more common ones are mounted to the wall. This makes it even more versatile when choosing and changing configurations. With its modular and adaptable design, it has stood the test of time and remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern furniture.
