Perhaps it’s the rise of compact homes or the increasing demand for personalised designs, but the customisable nature of modular shelving systems with the ability to conform to different spaces and needs have seen them gain in popularity in recent years. Here are three that should be on your shopping list.

#1 The String System

Designed by highly-respected Swedish architect Nils Strinning, the renowned String System has received a total of 15 international awards since its debut in 1949. This modular shelving furniture is just as relevant today as when it first appeared on the scene 70 years ago.

String is an elegant and minimalist modular system with classic wire panels that offer almost unlimited combinations, and is easy to assemble and install. It includes components that allow you to integrate shelves, work desks, cabinets, display cupboards, and drawers into your storage solutions. True to its customisable nature, the String System comes in a wide range of colours and materials, allowing you to build your own personal design, based on standard widths of 60cm and 80cm, and depths of 20cm and 30cm.

String Pocket

The compact version of the String System, String Pocket is a complete shelving system with two metal side panels and three shelves. Need more shelf room? That’s easy! You can choose to add more String Pocket sets to build multiple shelving sections, as you need. String Pocket comes in 13 colour combinations, and in materials ranging from various wood to lacquered metal.

To make the whole process an absolute breeze, the String configurator allows you to design your own String, and get prices based on what you’ve created. You can save a copy for yourself, and bring it along with you when you visit Danish Design. Those who wish to make an online purchase simply need to drop an email with a copy of their design.

The Royal System is one of the most recognised Danish furniture sucesses in history, and for good reason. Designed in 1948 by legendary Danish designer and manufacturer Poul Cadovius, this iconic shelving system – which consists of wall-mounted wooden rails, shelves with hangers in brass or stainless steel, and various modules such as cabinets, drawers and desks – can be customised in a host of different combinations to suit a myriad living situations. In fact, Cadovius claimed that the original system had a whopping 16 million combination possibilities.
