System Ultra Wood Shelving by Poul Cadovius for DK3
In 1957, the Danish designer and manufacturer Poul Cadovius launched System Ultra® as a successor to the iconic and successful Royal System® from 1948.
The design is based on the same wall-hung principle as its famous predecessor, but it has its very own visual identity, featuring elegant, ultra-thin shelves, with a wave-shaped edge profile. System Ultra® won a medal at the 1957 XI Triennale in Milan – a highly treasured design prize.
System Ultra® has wooden wall-mounted rails, and ultra thin components in either Oak or Walnut with an oiled finish.
System Ultra® offers the possibility to customise the shelving, and to extend it over time according to changing needs. Try the online configurator here to plan your own design – or contact us for advice.
For 2024, dk3 are also relaunching the elegant rippled glass door cabinets.
