Provenance

According to reports, around 1940, Estrid Ericson received one of her larger interior design commissions, which was the furnishing of a 12-room apartment on Stigbergsgatan in Södermalm, Stockholm. In connection with this, a Flora bureau was purchased, sold at Bukowskis Modern Art & Design, auction 656, item 170, on May 21, 2024. These bedside tables come from the same family. Thence by descent.

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.
