Manufacturer: String
Designer: Anna von Schewen & Bjorn Dahlstrom
Olle Pira (1927 - 2018) was an influential Swedish architect and interior designer who designed the original Pira shelf system for the iconic H 55 exhibition in 1955.
The Pira G2 is a contemporary interpretation of the mid-century classic with updated materials and manufacturing, by designers Björn Dahlström and Anna von Schewen. It has an architectural presence due to its frame and size. A distinctly modern and modular design; elegant and strong at the same time, with a visual language that impacts the spatial perception of a room.
The central point in the PIRA G2 design is the pole which makes the floor-to-ceiling tensioned shelf possible. The shelves themselves wrap around the poles to connect, as if they were one piece. It is modular, yet assembled it gives the perception of having been built as one. A seemingly jointless appearance with no beginnings or ends.
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 emphasise the solid look; 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.
Pira G2 is available in many different combinations. The widths increase in sections of either 70cm or 90cm and many different heights are available up to a maximum of 316cm for the ceiling mounted version and 308cm for the wall mounted version. The system has height adjustable feet that can go from 3cm to 8 cm in height.
