Description
The structure of this Swedish classic is light weight, yet stable. String is simple to assemble and the shelves can be easily repositioned. Books are kept in place by the side panels, and shelves of different depths can be combined in the same unit. When more shelf space is needed, simply add an additional side panel and some shelves. Cupboards and writing tables can also be added. It is equally suited to a large or small wall.
This functionality and the timeless design are the reasons why String still attracts attention after 60 years.
