Classics by Josef Frank
Josef Frank created exciting designs by mixing different materials, and we are doing likewise when decorating the living room this summer. The Träd i blom (Tree in bloom) curtain, the checked rug, upholstered furniture, and cushions in different colours, provide the textile elements that soften up the interior, while furniture such as Coffee Table 1057, Chair 2238 and the classic Wellpappskåpet (Corrugated Cabinet) bring together materials such as elm root, walnut, mahogany, birch and rattan. Estrid Ericson, the founder of Svenskt Tenn, wrote in her 1939 interior design catechism that not all the furniture in a room has to be made of the same type of wood – it’s a timeless approach that is just as true today.
