Encouraging creativity since 1949

We create and produce high-quality furniture with a Scandinavian design. The timeless expression of our design is equally important to us as the functionality. You might have heard of the iconic String® shelf? A flexible shelving system designed by the Swedish architect Nisse Strinning together with his wife Kajsa Strinning, back in 1949. Or about the Museum shelf? Designed by architect studio TAF in collaboration with the Swedish National Museum. Or did you know about our Works assortment? Designed and developed by architect Anna von Schewen and industrial designer Björn Dahlström. We dare to say it is impossible to find equally beautiful yet functional work desks out there.

String Furniture offers storage solutions to any room. Shelving System from String®, shelf from String® Pocket, console shelf from Museum™ ..by String Furniture and office furniture from Works™ ..by String Furniture.
