More information

The model was designed by Josef Frank in the late 1930's.
The most common was that it was made of pyramid mahogany, but according to the Svenskt Tenn archives, there are also notes of rosewood or schintz. In the archive's furniture book, Estrid Ericson has made a pencil sketch of the cabinet and written "designed for the King", i.e Gustaf V, probably for his 80th birthday in 1938.

Designer

Josef Frank was born in Austria and studied architecture in Vienna. As an architect, he worked with private home areas, villas and apartment buildings. In 1925 he started his own interior design firm Haus und Garten together with two architect colleagues. In connection with the advance of the Nazis, he emigrated to Sweden and was employed in 1934 at Svenskt Tenn. After the outbreak of World War II, Josef Frank, who came from a Jewish family, was forced into exile in New York. At Svenskt Tenn, he made an impact on the product range for four decades; especially when it comes to furniture and fabric prints.
