31/05/2013 - Poul Cadovius' unique shelving system ROYAL SYSTEM® was on everyone's lips in the 1950s and 60s. dk3 has now acquired the rights to revive the legendary furniture classic. ROYAL SYSTEM® shelving system was designed in 1948 by legendary Danish designer and manufacturer Poul Cadovius. It was one of the world’s first wall-hung furniture systems, and the idea that furniture should not use floor space was innovative: “Most of us live on the bottom of a cube. If we put the walls even with the floor, we get a lot of space to live on” was the mantra of Paul Cadovius.
ROYAL SYSTEM® was then ground breaking because of the wall-mounted concept, its light styling and the many individual combinations and the furniture system therefore went from success to success both in and outside Denmark. There have been made many attempts to copy this famous design, but ROYAL SYSTEM® is and remains the original.
As this timeless storage system was designed in 1948 Poul Cadovius, his idea was that the Design expression should be light and reflective, and that the shelving system should be constructed to individual needs. ROYAL SYSTEM® was then produced at Paul Cadovius’ factory in Randers (Denmark), where up to 300 men were employed. ROYAL SYSTEM® was also produced under license in more than 30 countries and is considered one of Danish furniture history’s greatest successes ever.
In 2010, dk3 re-launched the ROYAL SYSTEM® in contemporary materials such as walnut, oak, and compact laminate with steel or the original brass hangers. ROYAL SYSTEM® can be ordered individually as a classic bookcase, modern desk or library with different cabinet modules. The system is not only ideal for the living room or home office - large commercial interior design projects have used ROYAL SYSTEM aswell.
The timeless spirit of ROYAL SYSTEM® is preserved through the well known stringers, hangers, shelves and beautiful cabinets. And all of excellent quality, created for modern interior design and future needs.
