Nils "Nisse" Strinning, born December 8, 1917 in Kramfors, died 10 May 2006, was a Swedish architect and designer. He comes from a Swedish family with origins in the 18th Century in Ångermanland. In the 1940s, he studied architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH). Already as a student, he designed a dish rack which consisted of plastic coated metal wires. Dish rack, which was named elfa (not to be confused with electronics company ELFA), became very popular and was then starting when he and his wife created the famous String shelf. In 1952 he founded the two companies String Design AB and Swedish Design AB. Together with his wife, he designed many plastic items in 1960 - and 1970's. Nisse Strinning is rightly seen as a contemporary design classic.
