System Cado Sideboard

System Cado hangs straight on the wall. No rails and no floor space: each cabinet mounts on hidden brackets, so a run of storage can sit at whatever height the room wants.

Nine kinds: push doors in wood or woven wood, three drawers, a bar and desk drop-front in wood or woven wood, the same drop-front with a premounted workstation, and sliding doors in wood, glass or rippled glass.

Poul Cadovius designed System Cado in 1960, twelve years after the Royal System that made his name. The cabinets arrive ready to hang, brackets included.

Designer Poul Cadovius (1911-2011) trained as an upholsterer before founding his furniture company, Royal System, in 1945. His idea was to move furniture off the floor and onto the walls, leaving more space in the room, and it gave rise to Royal System (1948), System Ultra (1957) and System Cado (1960). Over his career he held more than 400 patents. In 2009, at the age of 98, he was approached by DK3 founder Jacob Plejdrup to relaunch Royal System, and today DK3 holds the licences for all three systems and the Pia Chair. Brand
