big impact. Is it even possible to free yourself from it?

“Yes, both of us are involved in many other projects,”

says Björn. “On the other hand, I grew up in a home

furnished with String

. It was a part of my childhood.”

Anna also has an early connection to String

“My mother ran her own kindergarten, which she

founded long before I was born. It was furnished by

Nisse Strinning himself, and his and Kajsa’s children

spent their days there. Besides that, my parents owned

some of Strinning’s little table sets – simple bases

made from steel wire (5-millimetres, mind you!) bent to

form a cube, with a top made from painted masonite.”

It feels that Anna von Schewen’s and Björn Dahlström’s

collaboration with String Furniture was destined.

Who else could have had such unique qualifications?
