String Furniture: The Wall System That Redefined Storage in 1949

String Furniture is more than just shelving—it is a design icon that has redefined storage since its invention in 1949. Designed by Kajsa and Nisse Strinning, the String Wall System was created to be functional, flexible, and beautiful. Its innovative design quickly became a global sensation, winning awards and later being officially recognised as a work of art. Today, String Furniture continues to evolve, bringing timeless Scandinavian design into modern homes, including in Singapore where Danish Design Co proudly offers a curated selection of String systems.

A Masterpiece of Scandinavian Ingenuity

When the String Wall System was introduced, it broke new ground in how people thought about storage. Unlike bulky cabinets or fixed shelving, String offered a lightweight and modular system that could be adapted to any space. With its signature ladder-like side panels and sleek shelves, it brought elegance, flexibility, and practicality together—a rare combination that remains unmatched decades later.

Design enthusiasts Peter Erlandsson and Pär Josefsson founded String Furniture in 2004, reviving and expanding the vision of Nisse and Kajsa Strinning. Their goal was to preserve the timeless qualities of the original while inviting fresh ideas into the collection, ensuring String remains relevant for contemporary lifestyles.

We are returned customers of Danish Design, bought their sofa for our first home in 2012 which lasted almost so many years. Recently we bought a new sofa here again and the service (both pre and post sales) / quality are still great, if not better :)

Our criteria for furniture is that we’d move it if we moved, and everything we’ve got from Danish Design fits that. Got the Playground daybed and Naver tv console in 2018, and they’ve aged so well. 2025 and going strong. You don’t need more, you need better
