His invention the ‘Abstracta’ shelving system was a pioneering example of modular design. Tool-free and elegantly minimal, it used metal tubes and connectors to support sheet steel shelving, offering function and flexibility without a single screw. The system won gold at the 1961 International Inventors’ Fair in Brussels and was even used to build entire exhibition halls at the 1962 International Furniture Fair in Cologne. Cadovius’s patented plug-in construction method laid the groundwork for a concept that has stood the test of time.   ### **The Rise of Bosse** In 2002, German manufacturer MRD took inspiration from Cadovius’s innovative spirit and reimagined modularity with the launch of Modul Space, a system produced in Germany with a clear nod to Bauhaus principles of form, function, and aesthetic clarity. But the story doesn’t end there. [Bosse Design](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/brand/bosse/)  was founded by Günter Bosse in 1964 and has been at the forefront of creating adaptable furniture systems ever since. Initially Bosse was known producing high-quality wall units in the 60s and 70s to then pioneering space structuring in the 90s with open-plan office solutions, Bosse has consistently led the conversation on functional design. Now part of the [Dauphin](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/brand/dauphin/) Group, Bosse continues its legacy from its manufacturing base in Höxter, Germany, producing intelligent, sustainable furniture for the workplaces of today and tomorrow. - ![Bossee ](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bossee%20.jpg?width=1600&height=784&name=Bossee%20.jpg) - ![Bossee - image](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bossee%20-%20image.jpg?width=1600&height=784&name=Bossee%20-%20image.jpg) - ![Bossee image ](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bossee%20image%20.jpg?width=1600&height=784&name=Bossee%20image%20.jpg)   ### **Introducing Bosse Modul Space** At the heart of every great space is intention, the [Bosse Modul system](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/brand/bosse/) is a true reflection of that philosophy.
