String popular bonnier folk library series announced a competition to design a bookshelf. the competition rules stated that the bookshelf should be affordable, easy to ship and suitable to most swedish homes. the compe- tition provided a creative incentive for kajsa and nisse; the string shelf won and became an instant success. in parallel, the strinnings continued to develop the idea, and soon string became a complete system with an array of functional elements and accessories.
String sweden’s biggest selling and most loved designs, as well as being internationally acclaimed. today the system consists of more pieces than ever. it can be configured to suit living rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms, and is just as much at home in a mansion as in a studio flat. colours and materials are based on a palette, updated yearly with new options, further increasing the number of configurations. we’ve recently added the possibility of using your string system outdoors, all year round.

String nisse strinning was an architect and an inventor. he had an eye for spotting people’s needs and the imagination to find solutions to their problems. the hassles of everyday life that went unnoticed by other designers captivated nisse. his wife and partner kajsa ensured the ideas were explored, refined, and documented in construction drawings. through their career the strinnings created things that made life well designed, easier, and more practical. their belief that form should always follow function explains why many of their creations are considered iconic today.

String furniture was the folding table for string system. björn, who is an industrial designer, particularly enjoyed it, since a lot of effort was put into developing the special hinges. an impressive focus on detail which makes the folding table as smart as it is beautiful, in line with the original concept behind string. now, the shelf could be transformed into a table in no time – a stroke of genius understood by anybody who has tried compact living.
