Producing a range of furniture including the String® System, a timeless and modular feat of design, we understand the values of longevity and quality. However, in a world where we need to take full accountability for our impact, we understand it goes further than that. And that is why we want to share our commitment to you. A commitment to change, a commitment to improve and a commitment to continually learn and adapt in ensuring we contribute to a circular economy and a positive future for both people and planet. We invite you to join us on this journey and we will be sharing updates along the way. Together, we can create a brighter future.
Nisse & Kajsa Strinning
Nisse Strinning was an architect and an inventor. The hassles of everyday life that went unnoticed by other designers were captivating challenges for Nisse. He was also impatient. Few of his projects would have been realised without his partner and wife Kajsa.
Anna von Schewen & Björn Dahlström
Interior designer Anna von Schewen and industrial designer Björn Dahlström are a married couple who work together and apart. For String Furniture they designed the office range Works and extended the String System and String Pocket by creating new parts and clever accessories.
"Some things become so strongly associated with a time they become timeless."
