danish wall unit  

Poul Cadovius
Does anybody out there knows where to find biographic elements about Poul Cadovius ?
I think that he became manager of the famous France&Son manufacture and I've seen some furniture with the two labels "Cado" and "France&Son".

France & son to CADO
Hi Pascal
France & son was bought by Poul Cadovious in 1964 hence the name of both on some pieces.
I was told by a client who knew cadovious that he liking of the bottle is partly to blame for the demise of the company.
I dont know of any biography at this time.

Need a wall rail for Cado System
I need sufficient rails to be able to mount two 22" high cabinets which means I could get by with three 22" high standards. The wood I prefer is walnut or teak, but I will really take anything. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain this?
Thanks

Trust me, you aren't the...
Trust me, you aren't the only one looking. I've been searching off and on for a few months. I have two cado cabinets that I got at the goodwill for $20 each. One is the desk unit where the front door folds down and the other is the two drawer unit one. They are being used right now as side tables around my sofa. They make very nice-looking side tables as well...perfect height and all. So you can still find a use for part of the Cado system until you find the mounting rails. I actually quite like them as the end tables and might just buy a whole new Cado system when I get the dough and keep using those two cabinets as side tables.

The royal, with the metal brackets.
(very odd to attempt to sell a unit in bits and pieces)
I passed up a large unit 5 years ago in a small Brooklyn shop.
I had no place for it at the time, but now have been looking for
two years since moving into my little MCM beauty. (the original owners
took theirs with them along with a custom Nakashima sideboard...:(
a hand chiseled notch in the cedar molding is a constant reminder).
I'm randomly obsessed and see the odd rail or bracket on ebay.

Cado Rosewood bar unit
The Cado PS stuff seems to be getting harder to find and more expensive all the time. I have a bar unit that I am not using if anyone is interested in it, to swap for another bit, or to buy at a reasonable price. Have posted some photos for you folks to see. Its in great condition, and the lighting works fine - turns on when the bar front drops down. No sun damage to it really at all, unlike most of my other units, like you can see in the background.
Am really after a couple of 3 drawer units and some wall runners if anyone knows of any.

Cado - PS sytem (and which is easier to find...)
So just to clarify - is the "PS System" also designed by Cadovius? Recently I cam across the Cado Royal (with wire brackets) and a "PS System" - which I didn't know was a Cado piece. Is it?
Does anyone have opinions as to which are easier to find: pieces for the Cado Royal or a non-wire-bracket PS Sytem (both in rosewood)? I'm considering one or the other but will want to add to it eventually....if that's even possible, given their scarcity!

I have both
Yes. Cado has wood bracets and Royal Systems has brass bracets. I know because I have both of them in my house.
They were made by the same company.

Wall unit designer...
I have the same type of issue. I bought a walnut wall unit on Craigslist a few weeks ago. I had no idea what type is was--I just know I loved it. After some research, I thought it was a CADO sytem. It has wooden poles and hidden wire supports. But the shelves don't look like the CADO systems I've found on the web. The shelves and some of the modules look more like the Kai Kristiansen systems, except I can't seem to find any that have *wooden* poles. It may be a different designer. I don't really care, since I'm keeping it (links to photos included), but I'd like to solve the mystery.
More about this system: It's freakin' HUGE. Six bays, 8 modules, 13 shelves of various depths. It also has 2 modules with caned doors, which I've not seen on the web. The guy who sold it to me had taken it out of his Seattle house about 10 years ago intending to put it back some day. He had it stored in his garage, and finally just wanted to clear out the space. $175. Crazy.
Any help appreciated! john d

Barzilay?
Looks like my Barzilay. It should be labeled as such somewhere. I would appreciate more info too, if someone has more.

Is that a France & son Hvidt corner table poking out in the corner? Love that table!

Ah Yes!
a Peter Hvidt 'Minerva' corner table, and the matching end table ( I have the sofa too)
well spotted 😉

Cado wall system - walnut or rosewood
I am looking for additional shelves and wooden brackets.
Thank you.
