1949 - 2019: 70 Years String System

In 1949, at the age of 32, Nisse Strinning designed,, together with his wife Kajsa, the bookshelf String for a competition run by the Swedish book publisher Bonniers. The competition called for a bookcase which was affordable, easy to carry and easy to assemble and build: the pair won with their String system and founded in the same year their eponymous company. The original String bookcase consists of filigree wire ladders, which serve as side walls, can be mounted directly on the wall and can be combined in different colours with different shelves. In 1953, the furniture company released the first free-standing version of the popular bookshelf that Nisse Strinning initially did not like. The shelf quickly established itself not only in private homes and dwellings, but also into public facilities, including the UN headquarters in New York City. Awarded numerous international design awards, the manufacturer String has extended the flexible wall shelf solution with a whole system of accessories and office furniture. In 2005, the String Pocket was launched: in design and concept equal to the original String, it is the smaller version of the wall shelf that impresses in absolutely every environment through its functionality and adaptable shape. Whether in the kitchen as a spice rack, in the bathroom as a storage for towels, tubes and creams or in the kid's room as accommodation for beloved toys - available in many different colour variants the String Pocket is a wonderful all-rounder.
