Nisse Strinning

- STRING - Bokhyllan "The Ladder Shelf"

The architect Nisse Strinning was born in 1917. From 1940 to 1947 he studied architecture in Stockholm, before he designed the legendary String shelving system. Since its launch in 1949, the String System has received more the 15 prestigious international awards.

The minimalistic and economical design is still timeless after 60years. String is simple to assemble and the shelves can be easily repositioned. Due to the 100s of combination options, string is perfect for any room.

This furniture can be considered as one of the icons of scandinavian design history.

Nisse Strinning passed by in 2006, but his legacy is still alive.

Hans Agne Jakobsson - Markaryd

Swedish interior decorator and furniture designer HAJ was born in Hvadhem/Gotland in 1919. He studied architecture in Gothenburg and began his career as industrial designer at General Motors. Subsequently he became an assistant to the prominent furniture designers Carl Malmsten and Werner West. In 1951 he founded his own company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, at Markaryd. There he not only created lighting design but also candlesticks, pieces of furniture and other implements.

As a talented designer who experimented with brass, iron, glass, fabric and wood shavings, he learned how to master direction and colour of light like only few people did. His designs unite practically and a sense of wellbeing.
