Vintage view: String shelving from Sweden

There are iconic lovelies out there, still on the market with their lines largely unchanged for half a century or even more.

Just a few examples (and there are a surprising number), the Aga range c1922, the Mini Cooper c1961, the Thonet chair no14 (cafe chair) c1859, the Anglepoise desk lamp c1935, and Mario Bellini’s Cuboglass television set c1969.
