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.
Hand-knotted and two-tone, the Grid rug is made from 90% New Zealand wool and 10% cotton. The colour palette is soft and earthy, and the colours are natural sheep's wool colours (except black) that have not been chemically dyed.
Woodnotes guarantee that the paper yarn carpet will not collect dust and that no dust or fibres will come loose from the carpet - an important feature, especially for people with dust allergies. The materials and dyes are safe to use.
Hand-sewn, anti-static carpet made from paper yarn. Thanks to its smooth surface and anti-dust materials, it's an excellent rug for homes with allergies.
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.
