String® Pocket 75th Anniversary - Limited Edition

Description

In the autumn 1949, Nisse and Kajsa’s String shelf won first place in Bonniers’ bookcase competition. Made of blue wall panels and pine shelves, their design beat 194 entries from around Europe, the US and even as far away as Australia. For the 75th anniversary of the String shelf, we’ve produced a limited series of 1949 shelves in the original blue wall panels and shelves in solid pine. Just like the winning design from 1949.

Designer

Nisse Strinning, 1949

Nisse Strinning, a Swedish architect born in 1917 in northern Sweden, completed his studies at the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in 1947. He designed the first String shelf in 1949 with his wife, Kajsa Strinning, for a competition held by the Swedish publishing house Bonniers. String was selected winner and has been a classic Swedish design icon for decades. In 2005, Nisse's last contribution to the String assortment was the String Pocket, which simplified the String System further.
