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.
Georg Jensen's Koppel pitcher gets a colorful new life in the famous design.
Defined by a smooth, matte finish, the pitcher's elegant new hue is borrowed from designer Henning Koppel's original sketches, which he brushed with a palette of his favorite colors. Designed to be used alone or in combination with other editions of the pitcher, this piece respectfully pays homage to Koppel's original 1950s design.
