String Furniture Shelves

The String furniture Shelves collection brings together 98 references from the most celebrated modular storage system in Scandinavian design. Founded in Sweden in 1949, String furniture built its reputation on a simple philosophy: lightweight structures, wooden shelves and ladder-like metal side panels that adapt to any wall configuration. This collection gathers every available variation, from compact formats to generous compositions, meeting all storage needs with unfailing aesthetic consistency. Discover the full range in The Cool Republic's Shelves department.

The String System, launched at the initiative of Nils Strinning, is one of the most copied and least equalled shelving systems in the history of furniture. Its principle rests on two lacquered steel side panels between which shelves, cabinets and accessories simply slot into place, with no tools required. The wooden shelves come in several widths and finishes, from natural oak to lacquered shades. The collection includes understated monochrome versions, available for example in white String furniture shelves or black String furniture shelves, as well as beige tones and steel structures for those seeking a more industrial palette. This complete modularity makes it possible to build a bookcase that evolves over time, to extend an existing installation or to create a new combination to suit the space available.

String furniture shelves suit contemporary interiors and period apartments alike, thanks to an airy silhouette that never weighs a wall down visually. They work beautifully in a living room as a bookcase, in a study as work storage, or in a bedroom to organise books and objects. To complete a workspace, the String furniture Desks collection offers a natural continuity with the same graphic codes. The pairing of wood and metal also makes it easy to mix finishes with other clean-lined shelves to enrich a bespoke wall composition.
