Our shelving is definitely Brianco because it came with the original brochure and 1975 price list! They used to have a showroom on Hackney Road in the '50s but later had one on Norton Folgate in the City. The furniture was made in Essex somewhere - Colchester I think.
We bought it from a guy in Welwyn Garden City who loved ladderax and similar furniture but didn't have the space to keep it (and had a small child so didn't think it was practical). So he was buying them, restoring them and playing with them a bit then selling them on. I felt a bit sorry for him because he never really got to enjoy them properly.
Your string looks great @6pt - almost like a photoshoot - but I would expect nothing less from a graphic designer ;)
Do you mean actual string or is that a brand?
Ours aren't actually Ladderax, but Ladderax style ones made by Brianco in the early 70s which are a little less heavy visually. Just like these (but these aren't actually ours):
