Josef Frank designed dining table model 1020 for Svenskt Tenn in the 1940s. It features a round surface with striking root veneer and finely inlaid boxwood details along the edge. The interplay between the organic patterns of the veneer and the precise checkered inlays creates a visually dynamic effect.
A testament to Frank’s design philosophy and Svenskt Tenn’s dedication to craftsmanship, model 1020 is both elegant and practical. Its sturdy construction and generous proportions make it ideal for dining and social gatherings, while the curved legs add a refined sense of movement and balance.
Josef Frank (1885–1967), an Austrian-Swedish architect and designer, was instrumental in shaping Svenskt Tenn’s identity. His ability to merge function with artistic expression continues to influence Swedish design.
