Image description

The designers of the Swedish String shelf. Kajsa Strinning. Born January 27 1922, dead December 20 2017. The Architect couple Nisse Strinning (1917-2006) and Kajsa Strinning (1922-2017) debuted as designers with a humble plate rack using steel wire, a technique that would be refined over the years. In 1949, they created a Scandinavian design classic when the String shelf won the Bonnier Folk Library competition. A few years later, in 1954, String earned them their first international design prize, a gold medal at the Milan Triennial. As recently as 2020, String® was awarded the Long Life Design award in Japan. Picture shows actress Marta Torén with the String bookshelf visible. Sweden 1950
