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.

And became the first Swede to win a gold medal at the Triennale in Milan in 1952.
