Handy String shelf - easy to assemble and combine!
Nils Strinning designed the String shelving system in 1949. The product participated in a bookshelf design competition in Sweden and won it. The reason for the victory was the same reason why it is still very popular today. The shelves fit into a compact space and are easy to assemble and combine. They are a handy storage space for small items, and by combining them, you can make large shelf units, for example a bookshelf. From these practical starting homes was born an icon that has endured to this day.
The advanced construction allowed for a visually light appearance, with a modern look that has kept it timeless. Since then, the selection has been expanded with numerous shelf material and color options. Different types of shelves are also available, e.g. magazine racks and trays. In addition to this, the shelf system has received its most modern and lightest version, Plex, where the side panels are transparent plexiglass.
