Muut tiedot
Josef Frank designed the fabric-covered cabinet no. 522 during 1934-1935, after turning his attention to Great Britain. Upholstering furniture with fabrics belonged to the English furniture culture, and Josef Frank was attracted by the contrast between the hard wood and the soft fabric.
The Celotocaulis fabric pattern was originally designed by Josef Frank around 1930. Celoto comes from an Asian flower genus characterized by plume-like inflorescences and Caulis is the Latin word for flower stem.
According to Svenskt Tenn, only 10 cabinets have been executed in this fabric. The model with this fabric is no longer in production.
