We've been trying to tackle the shelving situation in our office (again) and I keep coming back to the simplicity and flexibility of the string shelf system designed by architect Nisse Strinning in 1949. I want.
Can you buy these new in the states? Judging by their website, it doesn't look like they have distribution in the US. Am I missing something? I love these shelves!
The new EKBY GÄLLÖ shelving system at Ikea is kind of a modern take on the classic string shelves. Not as many pieces are available but with some imagination we're turning them into a full wall shelving system- and they're cheap. They obviously won't match the vintage ones but you can always do what we're doing and keep the new ones and vintage ones in different rooms!
I've just been browsing ebay for some string shelves. unfortunately the nice colours or white are nowwhere to be found but new in store.
