Timeless Elegance: The String Bookshelf from 1949 to 2024

In the fall of 1949, the

String

bookshelf designed by Nisse and Kajsa won over the hearts of the jury and took first place in Bonnier’s prestigious bookshelf competition. Among 194 competitors from across Europe, the U.S., and even Australia, the unique design stood out thanks to its combination of functional aesthetics and quality craftsmanship. Now, on the 7 5. th anniversary of the String Shelving Unit, we’re celebrating the timeless beauty of this iconic design with an exclusive limited-edition series. Each shelf is a tribute to the past and proudly features the original blue wall panels and solid pine shelves, just like the winning model from 194 9. The winning design from 1949 is brought back to life in this special series, with every detail carefully reconstructed to preserve the authenticity and charm of that era. These shelves embody not only the history of the String Shelf but also the timeless elegance that has defined it since its introduction. With the String Shelf from 1949 to 2024, we bring a piece of design history into your home—one that is not only functional but also adds a touch of nostalgia and sophistication to any room. Delight in the beauty and craftsmanship that have inspired generations of design lovers for over seven decades.
