Product description
Wall System with Nisse Strinning Teak Shelves, Scandinavia, 1960s
English
A modular wall-mounted shelving system combining eight teak shelves with slender black metal wall ladders. The shelves are original Nisse Strinning / String shelves, executed in warm teak with a clearly visible grain and slim solid edging. Their relatively compact proportions give the system a light appearance, while the black metal structure keeps the overall design open and architectural.
The set consists of eight shelves, three 80 cm wall ladders and three 60 cm wall ladders. One of the shorter ladders is not shown in the current configuration but is included, allowing the system to be arranged in several different ways. The shelves are attached with their original metal fittings and brass-coloured hardware. The precise origin of the wall ladders has not been confirmed; while they work naturally with the String shelves, they are therefore not described as original String components.
The set is in good vintage condition with normal signs of use consistent with its age. One shelf was shortened slightly at one end at some point in its history. This alteration sits against the wall when installed and is consequently barely noticeable in normal use. See last picture.
