Today we give you the String shelf ('Stringhyllan'), a Swedish design classic that's made its way into many homes – both in Sweden and abroad.
Designed by spouses Nisse and Kajsa Strinning, the String shelf came to life through a competition organised by Swedish publishing house Bonnier in 1949.
Easy to assemble and expandable, the String bookshelf is timeless in its functionality. New components are still manufactured today – and they are compatible with the 1949 originals.
