    Svenskt Tenn’s classic cushions are loved all over the world; from Stockholm to New York and Shanghai. This linen cushion has the Dixieland print.

    While living in New York from 1943-1945, Josef Frank designed two map prints. One of them was called Dixieland, after the American south. In the print’s three main fields is the Atlantic with its surrounding continents. Josef Frank presents an Africa full of giant sunflowers and the mighty Amazon full of watermelons, while the oceans’ foam swells against the beaches. Dixieland was printed for the first time in connection with Svenskt Tenn’s anniversary exhibition in 1974.

    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
