  • Sweden Celebrates 85 Years with Josef Frank
    The Frank 85 exhibition is open from September 21th to October 28th, 2018 Sep 21, 2018 13:42 GMT Sweden celebrates 85 years with Josef Frank This year marks 85 years since one of Sweden’s most renowned designers came and enriched his new homeland with colourful prints and timeless interiors. To commemorate this, Svenskt Tenn has created an exhibition presenting a mix of newly produced and classic designs, as well as objects from the archives – all created by Josef Frank. Josef and Anna Frank left their homeland, Austria, in December 1933 due to the rise of anti-Semitism. In January 1934, Josef Frank began a lifelong collaboration with Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson. “With this tribute exhibition we want to show the breadth of Josef Frank’s creativity and how much his designs have contributed to Swedish design history and the present,” says Thommy Bindefeld, marketing manager and creative director. This autumn’s big fabric news is Josef Frank’s Baranquilla, which is now being launched with a black base. There will also be a number of new launches from the archives: Cabinet 2215 is a classic piece of furniture that will return to Svenskt Tenn’s range in 2018, together with a sideboard, a stool a classic captain’s chair and a round dining table. “Estrid Ericson felt that a round dining table with room for eight people was the most suitable for serving dinner, so all of the dinner guests could see and hear each other. Our customers have also been asking for a large, round dining table and subsequently, table 1020 has returned to our range,” says Bindefeld.

  • JOSEF FRANK: Against Design
    Press Release JOSEF FRANK: Against Design Press Conference Tuesday, 15 December 2015, 10:30 a.m. Opening Tuesday, 15 December 2015, 7 p.m. Exhibition Venue MAK Exhibition Hall MAK, Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna Exhibition Dates 16 December 2015 – 12 June 2016 Opening Hours Tue 10 a.m.–10 p.m., Wed–Sun 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Free admission on Tuesdays from 6–10 p.m. “One can use everything that can be used,” proclaimed Josef Frank, one of the most important Austrian architects and designers of modernity, who, with this undogmatic, anti-formalist design approach, was far ahead of his time. More and more, Frank’s architectural sensibility, which placed serviceability and comfort above form and rules of form, counts as trend-setting. The exhibition JOSEF FRANK: Against Design gives a comprehensive overview of the multi-layered oeuvre of this extraordinary architect and designer, while being much more than a survey of his work. This MAK solo exhibition delves into Frank’s complex intellectual and creative strategies, which today are once again highly topical. The exhibition title Against Design encapsulates this undogmatic stance. Frank, who as an architect grappled with all of the themes having to do with architecture and living environments, was also highly productive as a “designer” and developed a plethora of furniture and textiles. Within the international avant-garde, however, he adopted a very critical position. He expressly declared himself opposed to the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk, standardized furnishings, and innovative forms for their own sake. He could not really warm up to either the individual-artistic paradigms of the Wiener Werkstätte or to functional, mechanized production deriving from the Bauhaus.

  • Estrid Ericson Biography
    Estrid Ericson (1884-1981) was a Swedish artist, designer and accomplished entrepreneur responsible for both the establishment and longevity of Svenskt Tenn (Swedish Pewter), a Swedish interior design company for which she served as managing director for 56 years. Together with Nils Fougstedt, Ericson developed Svenskt Tenn into a most influential enterprise involved in manufacturing and design, imports, exports, retail sales and consulting services. Ericson was born in 1894 and raised in Hjo in Vastergotland. In the early 1920s, she trained as a drawing teacher at the Technical School in Stockholm. Thereafter she worked for several years as an art teacher, a pewter artist and interior design consultant at Svenskt Hemslöjd and Willman and Wiklund. In 1924, together with fellow pewter artist Nils Fougstedt, Ericson opened a small pewter workshop, and later in the same year they founded Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm. Initially, Svengst Tenn produced and sold creative modern designs in pewter, which were recognized for their wonderful quality of craftsmanship. In the 1930s, the focus of Svenskt Tenn shifted away from pewter and onto interior design and architect-designed furniture. In 1934, Ericson offered the Austrian architect Josef Frank a position within the firm, which proved to be an important driving collaboration for Svenskt Tenn. Ericson and Frank developed an iconic style that while adopting some of the tenets of functionalism, maintained a warmth, 51 E 10th ST • NEW YORK, NY 10003 phone 212 343 0471 • fax 212 343 0472 51 E 10th ST • NEW YORK, NY 10003 [email protected] • hostlerburrows.com phone 212 343 0471 • fax 212 343 0472 [email protected] • hostlerburrows.com sophistication and elegance particular to the Svenskt Tenn brand.

    Research project P 14557 Ernst A. Plischke, Architect (1903-1992) Austrian Modern Architecture and the Emigration of the Architect August SARNITZ 27.11.2000 ERNST A. PLISCHKE, ARCHITECT 1903 - 1992 AUSTRIAN MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND THE EMIGRATION OF THE ARCHITECT TO NEW ZEALAND - HIS WORK AND HIS TEACHING The Austrian architect Ernst A. Plischke (1903 -1992) is generally known for his striking modern buildings in Austria during the 1930s. Among these are the ,,Employment office" in Vienna, Liesing (1930), his buildings for the Werkbund Siedlung in Vienna (1932), and the country hous near the lake Attersee, known as the Gamerith- house (1933). After his emigration to New Zealand in 1939 he first worked as a civil servant for the city of Wellington, before starting his own architectural practice. During the following years Plischke realized a great number of consitently modern buildings, mainly single family houses and appartment buildings. Among others he realized a church and a multi-purpose building in Wellington. In the year 1963 Plischke returned to Vienna because he was offered a professorship at the reknowned School of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, the same School where Otto Wagner and Peter Behrens have tought as his predecessors. Within the 20th century architectural history of Austria Ernst Plischke emerges as one of the key figuers of modern architecture in the sense of the "International Style". Together with Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Ernst Lichtblau the architect Ernst Plischke documents the most interesting oeuvre in the complex field of urban design, architecture, interior design, and furniture. However, since the focus of the architectural history was largely oriented towards the emegration of Austrian architects to the United States, the political and cultural situation of Plischke was omitted from contemporary research.

  • Discreet Austerity. Notes on Gabriel Guevrekian's Gardens
    Hamed Khosravi Discreet Austerity Notes on Grabriel Guevrekian’s Gardens In spring 1925 Gabriel Guevrekian, a young unknown artist - architect was invited to participate in the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris with a project called Jardin d’Eau et de Lumière. His contribution became one of the most noticed and criticized installations of the exhibition, and by the end, won the Grand Prix by the jurors. The garden was simply a stylized triangular walled space; a piece of landscape captured within a boundary made of concrete and colored glass. At the center of the plot was placed a tiered triangular fountain on top of which an electrically - propelled glass ball — a sculpture made by Louis Baril- let , the French glass artist — was revolving. The space between the fountain and walls was geometrically patterned with triangular patches of flowers and grasses, each of which slightly tilted in a way so that the whole ground plane was traced by folds of green, orange, purple and red (fig. 1).

The garden installation stood against any imitation of nature, both in its form and concept; in a way, the project celebrated architecture as a contrast to nature rather than garden as imi- tation of nature.
