svenskt tenn is a dream. the store, founded in 1924, became a vanguard for modernist design in sweden. josef frank, an architect and designer, wildly known for his vibrant textiles joined the svenskt tenn team in 1934.
nature played a huge role in frank's designs; many of his textiles depict scenes with flowers and animals, especially birds. my favourite is the celotocaulis, a classic 1920s design of green stalks and the celoto flower. one day i will have pillows on my sofa with this fabric!
although his textiles are more than fifty years old, they have not lost their freshness; they scream modern and swedish. his fabrics are applied to everything from curtains, pillows, trays, handbags and furniture.
svenskt tenn is the most beautiful store you will ever see.
have a lovely weekend!
