Do you like these? To the left is Eldblomman in a new, blue, colourway – and right the fairytaley print Sagoträdet. Svenskt Tenn has reconditioned Josef Frank’s wallpaper prints, and used traditional distemper printing in order to recreate some design features that had been lost and to adjust colors that had blurred over the years.

Speaking of art and patterns, I actually really like this old textile pattern by Josef Frank called Marble 4420. Svenskt Tenn reintroduced it today, in velvet, for the Stockholm Furniture Fair.

His design is now part of the Swedish public sphere! ‘All places where we can feel at home are caused by the coincidences’, he said. That also goes for this site, located opposite the street door of what was architect […]
Today’s chew in the Swedish decor-blogosphere regards the release of two new (old!) Josef Frank textile patterns. The two topical patterns, Aramal and Ceylon, were created by Josef Frank in the 1940s and has never been in production – until now. Svenskt Tenn is in the process of pressing textile rolls that will be sold […]
