Product description
TOP-DESIGNCLASSIX™ "Design classics, design and vintage furniture as new"
For sale is an original 60s/70s String shelf in the original teak version in like-new condition.
ITEM #3:
String shelf, with 2 ladders and 3 shelves, original teak version from the 60s/70s made of solid wood!
Not to be confused with today's reissue made of veneered particle board, for which a teak version is also not available!
Important! The original version consists of solid wood, a so-called three-layer panel, also known in technical jargon as blockboard, where solid wood strips were glued together and provided with wooden top and bottom layers. A high-quality teak veneer was then glued onto this top layer. Blockboards offer significantly higher bending strength, stability, and dimensional stability compared to particle boards, with less weight. Due to their solid wood core, they are ideal for high-quality, robust, and durable furniture. Particle boards are more cost-effective, heavier, less load-bearing, and tend to chip at the edges and swell when exposed to moisture.
STYLE:
Mid Century Modern / Scandinavian
DESCRIPTION:
Kajsa and Nisse Strinning won their first international design competition in 1949 as a young architect couple in Stockholm with String, a shelving system that can be easily mounted on any wall.
The perfect balance between functionality and form is String's goal. String has thus developed into a true design icon over the years and, as a timeless Scandinavian design, has become one of the most popular Swedish and worldwide designs. String has been awarded more than 15 national and international prizes, including the gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1954. In 1979, it was included in the design collection of the Swedish National Museum.

Info:
The photos are partly highly illuminated so that the excellent condition is visible in detail! Reddish tints become redder, and colors generally become brighter. The shadow areas or the areas not directly illuminated by the photo light best reproduce the natural color tones. Gloss in the photos or grayish or milky areas are also due to exposure or lighting (reflections). The surfaces are satin to semi-gloss.
