Designed by husband and wife duo Nisse ‘Nils’ and Kajsa Strinning, this version of the iconic String Pocket Shelf harks back to the original design that set the pair on their path to interior design stardom. Originally entered into a contest to design a new bookshelf hosted by Bonniers Folkbibliotek, this striking design dates back to 1949. 75 years on, the Strinning’s achievements are still held up as one of the defining moments in modernist design, celebrated with this anniversary edition by String.
Practical, affordable, space-saving and expandable, Strinning’s design became an instant classic and has endured over the decades as an essential part of the home. With blue wall panels and solid pine shelves, this limited edition version is a striking piece of design history, perfect for enhancing your living space.
