String® System

The String shelf - a timeless design classic from 1949

Some pieces of furniture become more than just interior - they become symbols of an entire era and a timeless design classic. The String shelf is such a piece of furniture. Created in 1949 by Swedish design couple Kajsa and Nisse Strinning, the String shelf has become an icon in Scandinavian design. With its minimalist form, flexible function and elegant simplicity, it fits into any home and space, while offering an almost infinite variety.

Flexibility and function - design your own String System

The String shelf, or String System as the range is called, is more than just a shelf. It's a modular shelving system that can be adapted to any need and space, whether it's a small kitchen, a workspace, or a large living room. Thanks to its thoughtful design, the shelves can be easily expanded, modified and customized to meet your specific storage needs. The String shelf allows you to be creative and create a personalized solution that grows and changes over time.

Scandinavian design and the timeless popularity of the String shelf

The ingenious simplicity of the String shelf has ensured that it retains its place as a modern classic, even today. Nisse and Kajsa Strinning were inspired by functionality and form, and their shelving system has come to define what we associate with Scandinavian design today - clean lines, function and attention to detail. For decades, String shelves have been a part of everyday life in Swedish homes, and now, more than 75 years later, they continue to be a symbol of timeless design and stylish function.
