String shelf Pocket - Special Edition from String is specially designed for Nordic Nest and comes in two colours: Nordic Grey and Satin Beige. The classic String shelf, the big brother of the pocket shelf, was designed by Nils Nisse and Kajsa Strinning in 1949 and started production after winning first prize in a bookshelves competition organised by Bonnier's public library. The smaller pocket version of the String shelf was designed by Nisse Strinning in 2005. The pocket shelf's neat size means that the shelf can act as both a bedside table and a side table, but you can also combine several pocket shelves into a larger shelving system if desired to create a personal expression. The String shelf, with its characteristic gables in lacquered steel, was designed with inspiration from the dish rack Elfa, which was also designed by Strinning. Today, the String shelf is iconic in Scandinavian design and can be found in many homes worldwide. The unique colour variants Nordic Grey and Satin Beige of this contemporary design classic add both practical storage and a shade that fits perfectly in a home with a Nordic touch – whichever you choose.
