Design icon: Strinning's modular bookcase

Architect and designer Nisse Strinning left a lasting impression on postwar design and especially during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s with his boundless innovation. He is most famous for his book shelf system created in collaboration with his wife Kajsa Strinning.

A pioneering and talented designer, in 1949 he designed one of the icons of Scandinavian furniture: the "String" shelves. This modular system of two wire uprights and wooden shelves was a huge success!
