Material:

• The rails are made of solid wood.
• Rail screws are made of the same material as the hangers.
• The tabletops of the tables are veneered, and the table legs are made of solid wood.
• The drawer cabinet is veneered, and the drawers are made of solid wood.
• The workstation is veneered, and the drawers are made of solid wood.
• Shelves, magazine racks, desk shelves, cabinets with drop fronts, cabinets with 2 doors, and cabinets with sliding doors are veneered.

Hangers:

• Raw brass or stainless steel.
• Since brass is softer than stainless steel, it is expected that shelves with brass hangers will “work” more than shelves with stainless steel hangers.
• Hangers are not sold separately.

Finishing:

• Oiled or soaped.

We recommend a weight limit of 35 pounds/15 kg per shelf to maintain structural integrity. However, shelves may slightly bend over time.

The DK3 – Royal System® design by Poul Cadovius:

Poul Cadovius gained significant attention for his iconic shelving systems. The world-renowned ROYAL SYSTEM® from 1948 was one of the first innovative wall-mounted furniture systems in the world.

Poul Cadovius is one of the most famous and successful figures in Danish furniture history. “Architect, designer, self-taught inventor, innovator, the enfant terrible of the furniture industry – the titles are many,” writes author Henriette Houth in her book “Kassebogen.”

Poul Cadovius registered over 400 patents – the last one when he was 90 years old. Both his life and his designs reflect a genuine character who paved his own way – to the joy of us all. In 2010, DK3 reissued the ROYAL SYSTEM® in contemporary materials like walnut, oak, and high-pressure laminate. The ROYAL SYSTEM® can be individually ordered as a classic bookshelf, modern desk, or library with various cabinet modules.

In 2010, DK3 reissued the ROYAL SYSTEM® in different types of wood, and the shelving system remains a timeless classic with a space-saving, flexible design that offers numerous possibilities for a personal, modern expression.
