String Furniture PIRA G2 Open wall-mounted aluminium and wood bookcase

This Pira G2 wall-mounted combination forms a focal point in your home or office space.‎ The black grey or white framework in fine textured powder-coated aluminum consist of two 90 cm sections with a total of eight shelves, completed with two cabinets and two bookends in walnut or white oak.‎ Wall mounted String Furniture presents Pira G2, a modern interpretation of a design classic from 1955.‎ The Pira shelf was design by the Swedish architect Olle Pira (1927 - 2018) especially for the iconic H55 design exhibition.‎ Now, String Furniture together with the architect Anna von Schewen and the industrial designer Björn Dahlström have created a contemporary interpretation.‎ The Pira G2 is an elegant and impressive piece of furniture, made of modern materials with a gentle nod to the 1950s, which will be introduced at Stockholm Furniture Fair in February 2023.‎ Although the starting point was original design, Anna von Schewen and Björn Dahlström has designed a completely new expression.‎ ”The ambition was never to design a retro-style piece of furniture, but rather to embrace the core idea behind the original PIRA and create a taller, wider version” explains Björn Dahlström.‎ Thanks to its frame and size the Pira G2 carries an obvious gravitas and architectural expression.‎ It is a pronounced modern design, which makes the shelf appear elegant and simultaneously exceptionally robust.‎ ”The central point in the PIRA G2 design is the pole which makes the floor-to-ceiling tensioned shelf possible, completely free-standing.‎ Another important feature is how the shelves themselves wrap around the poles to connect, as if they were one piece.‎ It’s a type of furniture design that creates a gestalt, even though it’s a modular system”, says Anna von Schewen.‎ The shelf system is manufactured exclusively from high end materials.‎ The shelves are made of lacquered steel sheets and the poles of extruded aluminium which emphasises the solid expression even further.‎ The cabinets and bookends have the options of walnut or white oak, where the wood brings warmth and creates a contrast to the lacquered metal.‎ The Pira G2 has a modular design and can be free-standing, wall-mounted and is equally well-suited to larger living areas as well as public spaces.‎ The shelves have been tested and approved 50kg load and can be furnished with cabinets in walnut or white oak, bookends and organisers in solid walnut or oak.‎ The poles and shelves come in white and black grey.‎ Bo Hellberg CMO: We’re very excited to finally be able to present the Pira G2.‎ It has a unique contemporary design and architectural presence and casually commands a space – especially as a room divider.‎ This launch also means a new chapter for String Furniture where we enter a new and more exclusive category.‎ Product information Design: Original Olle Pira, updateded by String Furniture in collaboration with Anna von Schewen and Björn Dahlström.‎ Material: Laquered steel, extruded aluminium, walnut and oak.‎ Colour: Black grey or white.‎ Widths: 70 cm and 90 cm.‎ Max height: Wall mounted, 308 cm.‎ Floor-ceiling mounted, 316 cm.‎ Further info from manufacturer on PIRA G2 String Furniture
