String Shelving System: Essentials

Description

The String System embodies one of our favorite tenets at A+R: bringing attention to true design classics that have stood the test of time and are just as fresh and viable today. To wit, what you see on this page is only a start.

Introduced in 1949, the late Nisse Strinning’s enduring String System is the manifestation of renowned Scandinavian sensibility, a modular system so intelligently configured that to call it customizable only hints at the possibilities. With its slim supports and aptly-scaled shelving, the overall profile is light, ordered and a complement to any interior. Easily assembled and a breeze to change out and adjust by virtue of the signature framing, which functions as supports to keep everything in place. And the range of companion units that the system can accommodate—including a work desk, cabinet options, magazine holders and folding tables—attest to the String System’s much-heralded versatility. Nearly 7 decades on, Nils’ masterstroke remains just as salutary now as it did then.

As the longest-running resource for this Swedish heritage brand in North America, A+R offers the entire String collection.
