    Designer:
    Josef Frank/Svenskt Tenn
    Material:
    Cotton
    Print:
    Vegetable Tree

    Josef Frank designed a lampshade for every one of his lamp models. Originally, all of them were in white textile, but Estrid Ericson later had them sewn up in textiles with prints of Josef Frank and other designers. This cotton lampshade has the Vegetable Tree print.

    The print Vegetable Tree is a variation of the Tree of Life theme that Josef Frank often used and playfully transformed into a vegetable tree. In this print Josef Frank’s stylises shapes, increases the colour intensity and blends nature with fantasy to spark wonder. Josef Frank designed the print while he was living in New York.

    The lampshade goes with Table lamp "Ball Pewter".

    Josef Frank/Svenskt Tenn

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

    Josef Frank grew up in Vienna in an assimilated Jewish family and studied architecture at Konstgewerbeschule. 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 started the Haus & Garten interior firm together with architect colleagues Oskar Wlach and Walther Sobotka. 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
