STRING® is a distinctive Swedish company specializing in modular shelves and shelving systems. The original STRING® shelves were created in 1949, when Sweden’s largest publishing house, Bonniers, announced a design competition. The idea was simple: if people had access to a practical, affordable bookshelf, they would likely buy more books. The competition was won by architects Kajsa and Nils Strinning, who designed the now-iconic, modern, and versatile STRING® shelving system – a design still in production today. Interestingly, the system and its design have remained virtually unchanged over the decades, yet its ability to meet the needs of contemporary interiors is more relevant than ever. While the visual identity of STRING® has remained consistent for over 70 years, the manufacturer continuously refines the materials and introduces new finish options. Its enduring popularity and timeless aesthetic have rightfully earned STRING® the status of a Scandinavian design classic.
