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.
Laminett by Yngve Ekström is a smaller sibling to the Lamino easy chair. The same iconic curve, here with a lower back for a lighter expression. A low and high version of the same easy chair was an idea that Yngve used in several of his chair collections.
The versatile Luna desk was designed by design duo Broberg and Ridderstråle, who were inspired by the shape language of a grand piano. With its generous radius, rounded edges and rounded drawer front, Luna is equally beautiful from every angle.
Pillo is a high-back armchair with generous proportions and a timeless character. The Pillo armchair is available with a swivel base with relaxation mechanism or a wooden base. Shown here with the wooden base.
Thanks to its simple Nordic design, the December chair is suitable for both modern and more traditional interiors in private homes or public settings such as hotels, restaurants and lobbies.
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.
The Lamino easy chair was designed by Swedese founder Yngve Ektrom in 1956. Epitomising the 1950's "Scandinavian Modern" style, the Lamino Armchair has a refined wooden frame.
