Svenskt Tenn's founder, Estrid Ericson, began laminating textiles onto trays in the 1950s. This tray is made of birch veneer and linen specially selected from Svenskt Tenn’s product range. The fabric gives each tray a unique and vivid surface.
Eighty percent of Svenskt Tenn’s collection consists of products that are of our own design. Josef Frank alone left behind 3,000 sketches and about 250 textile designs. Sometimes Svenskt Tenn produces products based on models from the archive, which contains sketches and designs from both Josef Frank and Estrid Ericson.
