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.
A trolley with a sophisticated, architectural design. Arne Jacobsen originally designed this elegant rolling table for his personal use.
It has been recreated from the Fritz Hansen archives to serve as a bar sideboard, serving sideboard or side table. It is a truly versatile design steeped in history.
The Coat Tree Wall was designed by Sidse Werner. It’s one of the world’s most functional members in this category. The light and fragile look hides the paradoxical fact that it is also one of the world’s most robust and practical racks: You can hang a surprisingly great number of heavy coats on it. The dynamic design is underlined by its ability to blend in anywhere and match the style of any room.
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.
