May 28, 2015 07:01 GMT A Journey with Svenskt Tenn Into Josef Frank's World of Prints Brazil, Delhi, Hawai, Himalaya, La Plata, Manhattan, Teheran, and Under Ekvatorn are all names of some of Josef Frank's textile prints on display this summer at Svenskt Tenn’s store on Strandvägen 5 in Stockholm. Josef Frank designed a total of about 200 textile, carpet and wallpaper prints for Svenskt Tenn. Many have names relating to places all over the world, among them the 17 textile prints that now can be experienced together in the Svenskt Tenn store in Stockholm, May 28 through August 12. The most well known of all his prints is perhaps Manhattan, one of two map prints that Josef Frank designed during his time as a guest lecturer in New York 1941-1946. The other of the two is called Dixieland after the southern US. It depicts the Atlantic Ocean foaming against the beaches of South America with watermelons, and Africa portrayed with giant sunflowers. It was printed for the first time in 1974. Anakreon, designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn in 1938, is named after a Greek poet who lived around the year 500 BC. This print has its origin in a 3,500 years old fresco from the Palace of Knossos in Crete. ''It was Estrid Ericson who first saw the Minoan wall painting that Josef Frank later transformed into a textile print. They often worked like that. They inspired each other and together they developed a timeless interior style that Svenskt Tenn still represents today,” says Thommy Bindefeld, Marketing Director at Svenskt Tenn. Svenskt Tenn is an interior design company with retail stores at Strandvägen in Stockholm and online. Since 1975, Svenskt Tenn is owned by the Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation, which provides research grants within ecology, medicine and the preservation of Swedish interior design traditions.

Svenskt Tenn Introduces Five Vases by Josef Frank
Oct 01, 2015 16:00 GMT Svenskt Tenn introduces five vases by Josef Frank Five new clear glass vases designed by Josef Frank are now available at Svenskt Tenn. The vases are shown in the exhibition “100 vases with flowers”, which opens October 1 at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm. The exhibition is a tribute to Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson’s autumn exhibition from 1940. Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson had an urge to bring inside elements of nature for use in furnishings and table settings. Every week she brought flowers and twigs from her summer house garden on Tyresö outside Stockholm to decorate the store at Strandvägen 5. “Estrid Ericson was often referred to as the Queen of Table Settings because of herability to mix simple things with the lavishly festive,” says Thommy Bindefeld, Marketing Director at Svenskt Tenn. “She combined various styles and brought together different materials, colors and shapes. We want this exhibition to inspire visitors to create beautiful flower compositions and table settings in the spirit of Estrid Ericson.” In the exhibition, five new clear glass vases from the archive are shown. The vases, designed by Josef Frank in 1957, are now for the first time being produced at Skrufs glassworksin Småland, Sweden. Svenskt Tenn also introduces a collection of lights, exclusively sold in Sweden through Svenskt Tenn, designed by the Italian-British duo Giopato & Coombes and by Kalmar Werkstätten of Austria. “Giopato & Coombes is a prominent design duo working with traditional Italian artisans and high quality materials,” says Thommy Bindefeld. “Kalmar Werkstätten is a classic lightingmanufacturer, suppliers to Josef Frank’s own company Haus & Garten during the 1930s.

To Mexico in Estrid Ericson's Footsteps – New Exhibition at Svenskt Tenn
Jun 10, 2014 09:30 GMT To Mexico in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps – new exhibition at Svenskt Tenn Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson travelled to Mexico in 1939. She brought 70 boxes of objects back to create an exhibition in the store in Stockholm. Today a new exhibition opens, showing products purchased during a trip in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps in 2013. ’’The world is a book and he who stays at home reads only one page was one of Estrid Ericson’s favorite quotations, which she had engraved on a pewter matchbox. Travel was one of her main sources of inspiration and she was constantly looking for new items for Svenskt Tenn, preferably things that could not be found elsewhere in Sweden’’, says Thommy Bindefeld, Marketing Director at Svenskt Tenn. Ericson’s purchasing journeys took her to many countries and in the spring of 1939 she traveled with her friend Ragnhild Lundberg to Mexico. She looked up producers and placed orders with them directly. A few months later, boatloads of Mexican objects arrived, filling the store on Strandvägen in Stockholm. The show became one of the most appreciated events in the company’s history that far. Today a new exhibition opens, displaying the handpicked items purchased during a trip to Mexico in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps. All items are for sale. ’’It has been very exciting to follow in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps. We have rediscovered some of the items she selected during her trip, and we have also found many other beautiful crafted products that we simply could not resist,’’ says Thommy Bindefeld.

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.

Svenskt Tenn Launches Japanese Magnolia from GP & J Baker
Due to the prevailing situation in our world the exhibition, Japanese Magnolia, will be extended until August 12. Mar 25, 2020 10:51 GMT Svenskt Tenn launches Japanese Magnolia from GP & J Baker Svenskt Tenn has collaborated with fabric company GP & J Baker since the 1930s. Now Svenskt Tenn has an opportunity to revive William Turner’s Japanese Magnolia print from GP & J Baker’s archives. The print was designed in 1917 and has likely not been in production since then. Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson began collaborating with the British fabric company GP & J Baker back in the 1930s. Since then, Svenskt Tenn has had the exclusive rights to sell selected historical GP & J Baker prints. After searching through GP & J Baker’s historical archives, Svenskt Tenn has been granted the exclusive rights to launch the Japanese Magnolia print from 1917. “It was Josef Frank who first introduced Estrid Ericson to the magical world of GP & J Baker. As with Fornasetti, Svenskt Tenn has shared a unique collaboration with GP & J Baker since the 1930s where we still have the exclusive rights to certain colour combinations and prints. When we had the opportunity to explore their archives we found an incredibly beautiful fabric by William Turner – Japanese Magnolia, which we are launching in connection with our spring exhibition,” says Thommy Bindefeld, marketing and creative director at Svenskt Tenn. The exhibition has been named after Turner’s Japanese Magnolia print, which is also the theme of the exhibition. The entire collection is presented in an environment inspired by a patio.
