{"title":"Poul Cadovius","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoul Cadovius (1911-2011) was one of the most colourful and successful people in the history of the Danish furniture industry. He was originally educated as an upholsterer but became very interested in design at an early stage, and in 1945 he established his own furniture manufacturing company: Royal System. A few years later, in 1948, he designed the iconic shelving system ROYAL SYSTEM®, followed by the award-winning SYSTEM ULTRA® in 1957 and SYSTEM CADO® in 1960. All three systems were based on a ground-breaking wall-mounted shelving concept, where the idea was to move the furniture off the floor onto the walls, leaving more space in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll his life Poul Cadovius was an exceptional entrepreneur and innovator, and he achieved to take more than 400 patents during his long career. Besides designing furniture Poul Cadovius also owned a boatyard and developed many other different products such as building material and fiberglass components like the well-known (in Denmark) mushroom-formed bus shelter. And then he invented the award-winning and world-renowned System Abstracta, which was used as exhibition halls at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1962. Poul Cadovius was indeed a man of the world and the king of furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pia-dining-chair-natural-papercord-seat","title":"Pia Dining Chair | Natural Papercord Seat","description":"Pia Dining Chair by Poul Cadovius for DK3.

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 Poul Cadovius. There have been many attempts to copy this famous design, but ROYAL SYSTEM® is and remains the original. ROYAL SYSTEM® consists of wall-mounted wooden rails, shelves with hangers in brass or stainless steel and various modules such as cabinets, drawers and desks, which can be customized in multiple individual combinations - in fact, Poul Cadovius claimed that the original system had 16 million combination possibilities.","brand":"dk3 ApS","offers":[{"title":"Black Lacquered Oak \/ Brass Fittings","offer_id":56069702844742,"sku":"807794","price":1306.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Lacquered Oak \/ Stainless Steel Fittings","offer_id":56069702877510,"sku":"807795","price":1306.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oiled Oak \/ Brass Fittings","offer_id":56069702910278,"sku":"807790","price":1237.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oiled Oak \/ Stainless Steel Fittings","offer_id":56069702943046,"sku":"807791","price":1237.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oiled Smoked Oak \/ Brass Fittings","offer_id":56069702975814,"sku":"807796","price":1341.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oiled Smoked Oak \/ Stainless Steel Fittings","offer_id":56069703008582,"sku":"807797","price":1341.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oiled Walnut \/ Brass Fittings","offer_id":56069703041350,"sku":"807792","price":1363.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oiled Walnut \/ Stainless Steel Fittings","offer_id":56069703074118,"sku":"807793","price":1363.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/9927\/9174\/files\/royalsystem-1baysmall-1-1200.jpg?v=1772194793"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.aram.co.uk\/collections\/poul-cadovius.oembed","provider":"Aram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
