String Furniture Shelving System: Pre-Designed Configurations

The String System is a Scandinavian shelving system designed to make all your storage problems go away. Build the shelf of your dreams by designing your own unique combination, mixing metal shelves, wooden shelves, and colorful elements––the possibilities are endless.

The String Shelving System is well known for its distinctive wire panels, first introduced by architects Nisse Strinning and Kajsa Strinning back in 1949 as part of a competition to design a shelf that was affordable, easy to ship, and easy to assemble.

String Shelving Origins

If you were to enter a Swedish home in the 1940s, you would rarely find a bookshelf. In 1949, to encourage more people to own books, Bonnier’s public library announced a bookshelf design competition where the design was affordable, easy to ship, and just as easy to assemble.

Swedish architect Nisse Strinning and wife Kajsa Strinning submitted the flexible String system, which included several easy to assemble components including wire panels and shelves. String was selected as winner and quickly become a household name in Scandinavian design. In the 1950s and 1960s, String systems were mounted in the offices of New York City’s UN Headquarters. The system won a gold medal at the Milan Triennale as part of the exhibition at H55, and it became the best-selling Scandinavian furniture piece in all of Germany.

After several decades of no production, String made its return in 2004. The original system was thoughtfully revised with new elements designed for the modern home. Plus, String Furniture revamped its working practices and methods to prioritize sustainability.

In 2009, String was classified as Applied Art under the Copyright Act, confirming that the system is a functional and timeless work of art for homes and commercial spaces.
