    Josef Frank’s Världskarta print (World Map in English) was designed in 1939. The print shows a world in peace; continents without borders between the countries. The print was initially shown as a cushion in the studio of Swedish Tenn at the 1939 New York World's Fair. At this time, the pattern was also used for handkerchiefs. A silk scarf with the motif was launched in 2007, now with border in pink, burgundy or navy.

    Josef Frank/Svenskt Tenn

    Svenskt Tenn developed this design using Josef Frank's print.

    Josef Frank grew up in Vienna and studied architecture at Technische Hochschule (the Vienna University of Technology) in 1903 – 1908. In the 1920s he designed housing estates and large residential blocks built around common courtyards in a Vienna with severe housing shortages. In 1925, he founded the Haus & Garten interior firm together with architect colleague Oskar Wlach. Svenskt Tenn hired Josef Frank in 1934 and just a few years later he and Estrid Ericson made their international breakthrough. Although he was already 50 when he left the burgeoning Nazism in Vienna for Sweden, Frank is considered one of Sweden’s most important designers. Read More
