The cabinet was acquired by the vendor's parents shortly after they got married (ca 1936). The parents were both very interested in art and culture, the mother worked with silversmithing and the father, who was a lawyer, came to work for UNESCO and the WHO in Congo, Persia and Korea, among other things.

Näyttelyt

Firma Svenskt Tenn, 'Josef Frank 100 år', the cabinet was shown at a memorial exhibition after Josef Frank in the showroom at Strandvägen 5 in the autumn 1985.

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.
