"Swedish architect Nils Strinning (1917-2006) was one of the leading mid-twentieth century designers who built the foundation of what we now call ""scandinavian design"".
When Nils Strinning designed String® in 1949, he managed something that very few architects or designers ever accomplish, however hard they might try. he created an icon. String® was an instant success, and became one of sweden's best-loved bookshelves.
Over sixty years later, String® is more popular than ever. so what's the secret? From the very first sketch, strinning designed a shelf that could take on many different looks. Through painstaking attention to detail he created a system where each piece could be combined with the others in almost endless permutations. String® is not just a shelf, but a piece of furniture that can be infinitely varied. Anyone can customize their own String®. it can be big or small.
It works as well in the kitchen or bathroom as it does in the library or lounge. And because String® has the rare distinction of being an affordable piece of designer furniture, it's easy to be playful.
All components are manufactured in Sweden. The basics haven't changed since 1949."
