In autumn 1949, Nisse and Kajsa's STRING shelf won first prize in the Bonniers library competition. Made up of blue wall panels and pine shelves, their creation beat out 194 competitors from all over Europe, the United States and even Australia. For the 75th anniversary of the String bookshelf, we produced a limited series of 1949 bookshelves with the original blue wall panels and solid pine shelves. Just like the winning 1949 model.
The original Pira shelf designed in 1954 was as contradictory as the man who conceived it. Olle Pira (1927-2018) was a traditional master cabinet-maker who crafted cherry, maple and matured oak with age-old skills. Yet he won a place at the renowned Konstfack school of art, craft and design, the birthplace of concepts ahead of their times. And became the first Swede to win a gold medal at the Triennale in Milan in 1952.
Niels O Möller design, 1959. The Möller 80 stool appeals for its simplicity and rudimentary form, typical of Scandinavian design. Often placed at the end of a dining room table, Möller 80A can also be used as a foot rest, bedside table or an occasional stool.
Niels O Möller design, 1959. The Moller 44 tea trolley is a beautiful wooden table on wheels, perfect for clearing the table after a hearty dinner. Its simple and unpretentious design also means it can be used as a coffee table or as a decorative storage unit, in a living room or dining room. Functional and elegant, it will blend into any type of environment.
