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.
