These are my top 5 of the original and classic String System elements:
-
String® Pocket Shelf The String® Pocket is perhaps the most recognized product in the String Furniture line. Its compact size and minimalist appeal make it a perfect fit for smaller spaces in our Singapore homes, like kitchens, bedrooms, or home offices. Despite its small footprint, the Pocket is highly functional, offering ample storage space for books, decorative items, or kitchen essentials. Available in a range of colors and finishes, it is easily adaptable to a range of styles from the Scandinavian look through to Lux and Bohemian.

This modular system allows for endless configurations and can be expanded horizontally or vertically to suit any space. Whether used in a Singapore living room, office, or even a walk-in wardrobe, the system adapts easily to any environment. The open side panels double as bookends, making the system not only functional but also a visual delight. Shelves of various depths and materials (wood, metal, or perforated panels) can be combined to create a personalized storage solution. The design options are limitless.

String® System – Work Desk Combination This inventive adaptation of the classic shelving system transforms String into a compact home office. The work desk combination adds a fold-down desk, seamlessly integrated into the shelving structure. Perfect for Singapore's small apartments or room with limited space, the desk can be neatly folded away when not in use. We often install these in Children's bedrooms - lots of space for homework for Singapore's youngsters.

Made from durable materials like stainless steel, it is resistant to humidity and ideal for holding toiletries, towels, and bathroom accessories. Its sleek and minimal design ensures that it integrates beautifully into any modern bathroom, maintaining the look while providing much-needed storage.

String® Kitchen String lends itself to the kitchen like an expert sous-chef. I love the use of an open-shelf using galvanized steel which brings a professional kitchen feel - expectations on the cooking may be high! Or leaning into to a minimalist white on white look , fitting all your gadgets and pots and pans on rails , hooks, holders and - a great option- shelve rails to hang wine glasses upside down on - functional and stylish.
Why String Furniture is Still a Masterpiece of Design The longevity of String Furniture lies in its perfect balance of form and function. This is elevated by the practicality of the Swedes! Its designed to be quick to assemble, and endlessly customizable. For the smaller Singapore homes the light, minimal framing of each shelf not only supports practicality but also functions as an aesthetic element in your room. Its timeless design can fit into any home and as an effective open wall system punctuated by cabinets where it suits the look your don't loose the depth of your room - so important to Singapore where space is a luxury.
