from one generation to the next, its basic construc-
tion – the shelf, the wall panel and the metal fittings –
remain identical to the 1949 original.
String continues to grow in Europe, the US and Asia,
and is currently sold in 48 countries. Manufacturing still
takes place in Sweden just as in 1949; with the wall
panels being made just a few kilometres away from
where the shelves are produced. From here, everything is
packaged and shipped worldwide.
Although Nisse passed away in 2006 and Kajsa in 2017,
their designs are still very much alive and thriving.
