Large 1960s Modular Shelving System ‘Pira’ by Olaf Pira for String Sweden
Located in Sherborne, Dorset
A large run of 1960s modular shelving system ‘Pira’ designed by Olaf Pira for string of Sweden, made of teak and steel.
Designed as a ‘tension’ system where each upright is trapped between the floor and ceiling eliminating the need for wall fixings, making it suitable for room dividing as each of the cabinets and shelves are finished both sides. Regarding its layout, the possibilities are endless - the photos were taken to illustrate the set in its entirety.
Comprising:
8 uprights 247cm tall including the tension springs – aftermarket wall brackets have been made to allow wall fixing
3 units with double sliding wooden doors and a single adjustable shelf within
1 six-drawer unit 40cm deep
2 units with double sliding glass doors and a single glass shelf within 30cm deep
19 shelves – 16 at 20cm deep, 1 at 30cm deep and 2 at 40cm deep
1 table with legs (all necessary clips and brackets included)
The overall length as seen in the photograph is 7 x 90 cm – 630 cm or 20.6 feet.
All cabinets and shelves are 90cm wide.
If the tension system is to be retained in the future, the uprights can be cut down to fit a lower ceiling or additional box section steel purchased (common size) to extend them.
In excellent original condition, a few marks from use as you would expect. There is a faint water ring on the tabletop.

Antique and Vintage Wall Decor and Decorations
An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.
If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).
“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango & Co.
Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.
If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.
Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.
