DC Insider String was revived in 2004 with improved quality and extra features added. Nisse Strinning was still alive at the time and came up with the idea for String Pocket, a mini desktop tidy and mini storage system for indoor plants and smaller items.

Our Condition Report 4/5 It was delightful to find this String system so beautifully styled ready for me to photograph, and I noted how well it has been cared for. It is now disassembled and in storage, awaiting a buyer.
