String
®
has earned a place in design history thanks to
its elegant simplicity and an ingenious construction
that rests on only three elements – the shelf, the wall
panel and the metal fitting – yet can be put together
in an infinite number of configurations. Now in its
eighth decade, the String
®
System is just as flexible
and lively as when it debuted in 1949. It can be
endlessly reinvented as it passes from one generation
to the next.
HOW TO MANAGE A LEGACY, AND DEVELOP IT
EVERY DAY
Since 2005, String Furniture has owned the iconic
String
®
System. Celebrating its perfect combination of
form and function while developing it to meet the needs
and dreams of a new generation, is a balancing act.
We do this in two ways.
First, we continue to evolve the original String
®
System
by introducing contemporary colours, new materials and
fresh accessories.
Also, we introduce new designs, new furniture
to our collection. In this catalogue you’ll find not only
the String
®
System, but also a range of products by
other Swedish designers. Designers whose ideas and
ambitions closely align with String’s essential simplicity
and uniqueness.
A SUSTAINABLE IDEA MUST BE SUSTAINABLE
AT EVERY STEP
Sustainability is not a new concept for us, although we
are encouraged to notice that a growing number of
people care about it.
Everything we do at String Furniture is, in one way
or another, connected to sustainability. At the top of
our list is what we call life span. High-quality furniture
lasts a long time. Using durable materials and careful
manufacturing results in furniture that can be enjoyed
for many years, even decades, and has character and
a visual expression that feels beautiful and attractive
day after day.
THERE IS NO CERTIFICATION TO VALIDATE
”LOVABILITY”
Our furniture is currently in the process of being
certified and labelled by the Swedish Möbelfakta
test mark. Möbelfakta certifies quality, environment
requirements and social responsibility. At present over
70 percent of String Furniture’s range bears the mark,
and that number is growing.
