Danish teak String Shelf with Drawers, 1960s Scandinavian Wall Unit

String Shelf System by Nisse & Kajsa Strinning – Teak Shelves with Drawer Units, Sweden, 1960s
One of the most iconic pieces of Scandinavian mid-century modern design, the String System was designed by Nisse and Kajsa Strinning and has been a benchmark of functional, elegant shelving since its introduction in 1949. This original 1960s example features warm teak shelves, two drawer units, and the classic powder-coated wire side panels that made String a design icon.
Compact and highly versatile, the system works beautifully in a living room, home office, hallway, bedroom or reading space. The teak grain is warm and characterful, and the overall impression is of a piece that has been well cared for throughout its life.
The drawer unit occupies the third shelf position, with a full-width drawer offering practical concealed storage without compromising the clean open silhouette of the system.
