Notes:

The architect Nisse Strinning was born in 1917. From 1940 to 1947 he studied architecture in Stockholm, before he designed the legendary String shelving system, which is still equivalent with the name Nisse Strinning. Since its launch in 1949 the shelving system has won more than 15 prestige, international prizes and is still considered modern design.
