Tablecloth Persephone
Graphic dining room
Tablecloths and napkins with graphic patterns, bold art objects and Josef Frank's colourful dining chairs set the mood in the spring dining room. The furnishing combines wood, brick and glass into a harmonious whole, accompanied by modern interior details and classic furniture from Svenskt Tenn.
Estrid Ericson“A planned, schematic colour scheme makes the room rigid and incapable of receiving a new colour. Suppose we suddenly fall for a painting which does not match the curtains!”
A rug should provide a sense of solid ground under your feet, according to Josef Frank. While his other fabric prints are often associated with flowers, birds and plants, he decorated his rugs with abstract motifs. You do not step on flowers and birds, was his firm belief. The images show his Rug No. 1, designed in 1938 for Svenskt Tenn.
For the spring of 2022, French architect and designer Jean-Baptiste Lescudé created a collection of tablecloths and napkins with graphic prints for Svenskt Tenn. The collection is named Persephone after the Greek goddess associated with the return of spring. The pattern depicts the floral biodiversity of the season, with petals, buds, leaves and seeds in an abstract way.
Jean Baptiste Lescudé“As an architect, the design of objects and furniture must be done with a transversal approach. When working on this fabric, the idea was to evoke the world of plants, which is so characteristic of Josef Frank’s work.”
