One shelf, many visits
2009 November 11
I get a lot of questions about the shelf system that are often featured in the homes we show: The string shelf. It is very popular in Sweden as you can see. You can buy it new in different colors or ,if you are lucky, you can find it at flea markets.
It was designed in 1949 by Swedish architect Nisse Strinning. You can read more about it here.
Here are some of the string shelfs in our Dos Visits. To see more of the visits just click the photos.
I love the shelves, I see you have so many of them, such a nice home!
Ja de är ju snygga
Yes, THANK YOU! I have always wondered as well…they have such a wonderful, simple design to them. I am new to your blog, it’s just beautiful
Oh your blog is just so fabulous!Love it
Thanks for the info! I thought they were Tomado Holland, I googled both and they are very similar. Anyway, I think I need one. Your blog is such an inspiration for me. I look forward to the next visit! Have a nice day, Monika
thanks!
kul det här när du plockar och blandar. lika olika samma samma och ändå inte. Jag och min string!
I love these shelves! My husband grew up with them here in Australia because his mother was Swedish and brought them out with her in 1960. Like many Swedish things they are such classics. And thanks for the blog which I really enjoy.
Hey. Love these. I have old Tomado shelves (60’s). Found them on the attic of my grandparents. I am still searching for a proper place to put them. Thanks for the inspiration!
oh, i’m in love with the shelving. does anyone have a good resource in the States? <3
