An icon of Nordic style, designed almost by chance. As a matter of fact, architect Nils Strinning conceived the String System for a competition announced by Sweden’s largest publishing house, Bonnier, in 1949. Its aim was to allow avid readers, who were buying more and more books, to store those special items in an inexpensive, functional and easy to assemble shelf system. String won the first prize, beating off another 149 prototypes sent from around the world. In the same year, Strinning founded the eponymous company. The system has never gone out of production.

Thanks to its convenience and minimalist design, String System is timeless and suitable for all environments, from the bathroom to the kids room, from the office to the living.

The structure is light but stable, easy to assemble and recombine. The floor or wall panels are available in different sizes and finishes, such as metal, which can be painted black, white or gray. The shelves are in oak, walnut, natural birch or painted and come in four sizes. Shelves of different depths can be combined in the same unit and, if you need more space, you can simply add a new side panel and more shelves. The following composition features functional magazine shelves:

The String Pocket system is ideal for bedrooms: same versatility and attention to detail, in a smaller size.

String Plex panels in laser-cut plexiglass give the library an ethereal character. The shelves seem to hover in the air, yet the structure is solid and perfect to hold the many cans and bottles we store in the bathroom.

Works System is String’s latest news: especially conceived in 2014 for the office and study environment by architect Anna von Schewen and industrial designer Björn Dahlström, with respect for String System’s original design, it is ergonomic, simple and ingenious and was developed to make the work place as pleasant as our living room while keeping its functionality. String Works includes an height adjustable desk available in white, ash and oak, that allows maximum freedom of movement, but also a number of other practical items such as a pc holder, a bowl shelf for storage equipped with three compartments, a wire screen for the desk.
