Under Ekvatorn

Shape:

Rectangular

Country of manufacture:

Sweden

FSC certification:

Yes

Svenskt Tenn's classic trays in birch veneer are available in a number of prints by Josef Frank and Estrid Ericson, including Under Ekvatorn.

The lush Under Ekvatorn (Under the Equator) print is one of Josef Frank’s more colourful prints. With fantasy flowers that we almost recognize, but are uncertain that we do, we find that finely-tuned balance between dreams and reality that is so typical for Josef Frank’s designs. Josef Frank designed Under Ekvatorn in September 1941 shortly before his move to New York.

Designer

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
