home: favourite thing [ String® shelving ]

We have been a fan of String® for a long time, with its simple components system meaning you can create shelving that suits you and your home.
It’s light weight, yet stable with shelves that are easy to reposition as needed.
Designed by the Swedish architect Nils Strinning in 1949, this timeless shelving is a must for any home. It’s history has become part of what we now call ‘Scandinavian design’
Available online from various stores. You tend to buy the system in individual components, depending on size and colour, but some places will have complete units.
Check out hauslondon.com and utilitydesign.co.uk or head to string.se to find your local stockist.
