Upholding the Scandinavian tradition for ingenious design, everything we create is elegant in form, instantly recognisable, and flexible in function. Forever inspired by the simplicity of the original String® shelf.  

Designed by Kajsa and Nisse Strinning in 1949, this design icon is not only considered a masterpiece invention, but officially recognised as a an work of art. Design enthusiasts, Peter Erlandsson and Pär Josefsson founded String Furniture in 2004, continuing the legacy of Nisse and Kajsa Strinning.Today, we honour their timeless vision and invite fresh ideas to the family time and time again.

Meet The Designers

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.

TAF Studio

Founded in Stockholm in 2002, TAF Studio is run by Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom. The duo are interior designers and product concept designers, created the shelf Museum NM&.045 and the Museum Sidetable for String Furniture.

Minimalist ethos, sustainable ethics.

With combinations and quality to last generations, String Furniture doesn’t need to be recycled. But that doesn’t mean we’re not focussed on sustainability. 95% of our furniture is made in Sweden from renewable, recyclable, or recycled materials, paired with careful manufacturing.
