Kitchen of the Week: The Classic String Swedish Kitchen
Building on more than half a century of success, String, the innovative modular shelving series from Sweden, has expanded into furniture.
Originally designed in 1949 by Swedish architect Nils Strinning, String is a system of flexible shelving units that can be configured to fit any space. Starting in 2013, String introduced a line of complementary furniture pieces designed by architects Anna Von Schewen and Björn Dahlström. The first in the series is a collapsible table, which when not in use folds neatly back into the unit. And the company keeps unveiling new components to the system.

Available in the UK at Haus London, the components start at £75 ($116) for a three-pack of shelves. Pocket Shelving is also available in the US at A+R in Los Angeles for $195. string-system-white-folding-table-4
