The cabinet stands on slender legs, maintaining an airy, lightweight appearance that aligns with Frank’s preference for furniture that feels open rather than heavy or imposing.

Josef Frank’s design philosophy, which emphasised both practicality and visual harmony, is evident in the cabinet’s thoughtful proportions and refined material choices. The combination of cherry wood and root veneer aligns with his preference for natural materials, celebrating their beauty while ensuring a timeless piece.

Model 2135 was made in two versions—one with this striking root veneer and the other with simple mahogany doors. Simplicity and exceptional quality make this piece a timeless Svenskt Tenn collectible.
