This is the now-iconic and highly collectible modular Cado system designed by Poul Cadovious. This system was created to allow easily customizable storage, display, media and work solutions. It is incredibly functional and very beautiful! Cadovious designed several versions: this is the System CADO', designed in 1960and crafted in Denmark. This classic design has been re-issued, and component prices are in line with the original pricing; this was a luxury item. To buy new, this configuration would cost around $12,500, and of course it would not have the wonderful patina and history of an original 1960s piece!
This example, in warm walnut, consists of three 'bays'. The modular cabinets and shelves can be configured however you like. (We also have more cabinets, shelves, and wall standards if you would like to build a different configuration.) This set includes:

This piece is in excellent vintage condition, with minor age-appropriate wear. The drawer cabinet has a few very minor scratches on the top. The desk shelf has a few tiny dings and a small flaw near the back. There are minor chips on the edges of some shelves. Overall this unit presents very well!
