Set of eight dining chairs model 2027 designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn
Sweden, 1950s
Mahogany and horsehair upholstery.Together with Estrid Ericson and her furnishing company, Svenskt Tenn, Josef Frank developed his characteristic style combining elements of Viennese elegance with Swedish functionalism. He wanted to incorporate natural forms and colours into his interiors so that the inhabitants could experience a sense of freedom in enclosed spaces. He believed that 'ornament and complexity create peacefulness and get rid of the disturbing aspect of pure functional form.' Josef Frank’s impact on Swedish design is unparalleled.
