Manufacturer: String | Designer: Anna von Schewen & Björn Dahlström

Olle Pira (1927–2018) was an influential Swedish architect and interior designer who created the original Pira shelf system for the iconic H 55 exhibition in 1955. The Pira G2 is a contemporary interpretation of that mid-century classic, reimagined by Björn Dahlström and Anna von Schewen with updated materials and manufacturing.

Its architectural presence comes from the tension pole system — the central pole makes the floor-to-ceiling configuration possible, with shelves wrapping around the poles as if they were one continuous piece. Modular in construction, yet assembled it gives the impression of having been built as a single unit: a seemingly jointless appearance with no beginnings or ends.

Shelves are made from lacquered steel sheet; poles from extruded aluminium. This display piece is finished in White with White Oak cabinets.
