Almost Ready

Well, it took several months, but we finally got our vintage String shelves, thanks largely to the best efforts of our German pal, Marc. Thanks again, man! Designed in 1949 by Nils and Kajsa Strinning, these shelving systems are plentiful in Europe, even outside of their native Sweden; however, turning them up in the US was problematic, and finding the specific size configuration we wanted seemed impossible.

It was certainly worth the wait, though! We're so happy that we're finally able to display our small items properly. Now that we have these, we only need a few more things before showcasing our master bedroom. Look forward to its unveiling soon!

Fantastic. Thanks. Living here in Herman Miller country, I can tell you I see more mid-century modern on your site than I do in the antique shops in the area. Jim Dull Tool Dim Bulb.
