A true design icon, the String System has been a fixture of Scandinavian modernism for more than 75 years. Its minimalist wire panels and sleek shelves create endless configuration possibilities, whether for living rooms, kitchens, or offices.
The design’s enduring appeal lies in its modularity. It can grow and change with your needs while maintaining its refined, understated aesthetic. Every piece reflects the Strinnings’ original vision of combining beauty with practicality, proving that thoughtful design stands the test of time.

String Pocket
Compact yet full of character, the String Pocket brings the same Scandinavian sensibility to smaller spaces. Designed by Nisse Strinning in 2005 as his final creation, this ready-to-assemble shelving unit consists of two side panels and three shelves, perfect for books, decor, or everyday essentials.
Available in a variety of colours and finishes, from monochrome metal to warm woods like oak and walnut, the String Pocket easily integrates into any interior. It’s a simple yet expressive way to bring timeless design into the home.

Museum Collection
Created in collaboration with TAF Studio for Stockholm’s Nationalmuseum, the Museum NM&.045 console shelf exemplifies refined versatility. Originally made to display works of art, it now serves as an elegant home for treasured objects, sculptures, or books.
The Museum side table expands this adaptability even further. Height-adjustable and minimal, it functions beautifully as a pedestal, bedside table, or compact workspace. Both pieces celebrate the intersection of art and design, offering quiet sophistication in any setting.
