Josef Frank formgav den ursprungliga Hortuskrukan i mässing, 1938. Senare under krigsåren, då all metall var hårdvaluta, lät Estrid Ericson glasbruket Gullaskruv göra en variant i glas. På Svenskt Tenns vårutställning 1942, visades Hortuskrukan i rubinrött, smaragdgrönt och stomatolblått glas.
Suunnittelijat
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.
