Already in Vienna in the early 1930s when working with Oscar Wlach and their company Haus & Garten Josef Frank began to cover cabinets with different kind of materials. At the time he made use of, like on this one, different kinds of fabrics.
After moving to Sweden Josef Frank designed the first cabinet covered with prints in 1938, it was the so called 'Flora cabinet'. Since then he designed several versions of covered cabinets, sometimes with different kinds of fabrics, sometimes with leather and also the ones covered with maps or plans. Key included.

Minor wear, a bit faded.

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.
