Rug Frank Nr 7
Rug Frank No. 19
Josef Frank had little enthusiasm for hunting and thus designed several rugs as alternatives to genuine animal hides. Among them is Rug Frank No. 19, famously known as the "Monster Rug." Its distinctive design has earned it a place as an enduring icon in Svenskt Tenn's range.
Rugs by Josef Frank
Josef Frank's personal expression and sense of colours and patterns have given rise to timeless prints. He is well-known for his imaginative, botanical motifs, but when he composed rugs, his philosophy was different.
Manufacturing Rug no 19
Hitex was founded in 1982 in Blekinge. Here, rugs are manufactured using tufting – an ancient, traditional technique that has entered the future with the implementation of self-developed, precise, and flexible robots. The production at Hitex is conducted on a small-scale, with a focus on exclusive, high-quality custom orders.
