Product description
TOP-DESIGNCLASSIX™ "Design Classics, Design & Vintage Furniture in Like-New Condition"
For sale is an original 1960s/70s String shelving unit in its original teak finish, in mint condition.
ITEM #1:
String shelving unit, with 2 ladders and 2 shelves, original 1960s/70s teak finish made of solid wood!
Not to be confused with the modern reissue made of veneered particleboard, which is not available in teak!
Important! The original version is made of solid wood, a so-called three-layer panel, also known as blockboard, in which solid wood strips are glued together and covered with wooden veneers on the top and bottom. A high-quality teak veneer is then glued onto these veneers. Blockboard offers significantly higher bending strength, stability, and dimensional stability compared to particleboard, while being lighter. Thanks to their solid wood core, they are ideal for high-quality, robust, and durable furniture. Particleboard is less expensive, heavier, and less load-bearing, and is prone to chipping at the edges and swelling when exposed to moisture.
STYLE:
Mid-Century Modern / Scandinavian
DESCRIPTION: In 1949, Kajsa and Nisse Strinning, a young couple of architects in Stockholm, won their first international design competition with String, a shelving system that can be easily mounted on any wall.
The perfect balance between functionality and form is the goal of String. Over the years, String has become a true design icon and, as a timeless piece of Scandinavian design, one of the most popular designs in Sweden and worldwide. String has received more than 15 national and international awards, including the Gold Medal at the 1954 Milan Triennale. In 1979, it was added to the design collection of the National Museum of Sweden.
MANUFACTURER:
String Furniture AB, Sweden
DESIGNERS:
Nisse Strinning (1917-2006) and Kajsa Strinning (1922-2017)
MATERIAL:
Coated steel wire, solid blockboard veneered with teak, oiled/lacquered
COLOR:
Deep black/teak (dark brown with a beautiful reddish tint and natural color nuances)
Note:
The photos are sometimes overexposed to show the pristine condition in detail. This makes reddish tones appear more reddish and colors generally appear lighter. The shadowed areas, or those not directly illuminated by the camera light, best represent the true colors. Any gloss or grayish/milky areas in the photos are also due to the lighting and/or reflections. The surfaces have a satin to semi-gloss finish.

Like new! The high-quality teak shelves have been lovingly restored using traditional and natural materials and are virtually indistinguishable from new! The usual scratches and blemishes of years of use are nowhere to be found. A perfect 10/10, without a doubt!
This piece of furniture is ideal for the design enthusiast who seeks the original teak finish and wants to avoid any compromises regarding condition and unpleasant surprises.
