Poul Cadovius

The Danish designer Poul Cadovius (1911-2011) first trained as a saddler and upholsterer before turning to furniture design. In 1945 he founded his own company and in 1948 launched the Royal System, a wall-mounted, modular shelving system with rails that could hold shelves, cabinets, desks and other elements and, for the first time, consistently moved furniture from the floor to the wall. Further modular systems followed, such as System Ultra (1957) and System Cado (1960). Cadovius is regarded as one of the first Danish designers to work specifically with plastic and fibreglass, and over the course of his career he registered more than 400 patents.
