An elegant Poul Cadovius two-bay wall unit with a desk and shelf light, designed for Cado in the 1960s, is an excellent alternative to a traditional desk and ideal for a home office space. It can be placed in a bedroom or a living room, saving space and providing a remote working area. The piece is a fine example of Danish carpentry from the mid-century era and is considered of the highest quality. This stunning modular wall unit features six stylish shelves with “made in Denmark” engraved on them, one writing desk with a portable black lamp and one elegant cabinet. Furthermore, there is an original manufacturer’s sticker on the inside of the lamp. This is quite an achievement considering the age of the lamp. The writing desk features two elegantly integrated drawers, allowing for convenient storage of office work items. The set includes one cabinet, or a secretaire with drop-front doors, which can serve as a hidden desk or as an elegant bar. With its two small inner shelves for documents and accessories, it is an excellent alternative to a traditional desk and is ideal for creating discreet home office space in your living room. On the other hand, the black rear panel together with the bottle rack make it an elegant place to store drinks. Typical of Cadovius’s design, the front is ornamented with thin teak strips, which are found in most of his wall units, as well as in pieces like the Governor sofaIt is made in teak wood with brass hardware and solid wood rails. Each element is 80 cm wide, and one can arrange all the parts by one will.
