Muut tiedot
Josef Frank’s “Hortus” planter in cast iron is the first in the series, designed in 1941. It was not until two years later that the planter was produced in glass for Svenskt Tenn’s spring exhibition in 1943. Only a few planters are believed to have been manufactured by Åkers Styckebruk, where the mould is preserved in the company’s museum. Today, the planter is produced by Näfveqvarns bruk.
