I'm delighted you're members and look forward to hearing from you soon. <br />Karena, Joanne, Jeannine, Luke, Catherine, loved your enthusiasm of this discovery! Yes, you are right--his furniture is quite understated and spare in its lines and approach--and then the fabrics cut loose and are witty and playful.<br />A reader asked where to get the fabrics: Liberty of London (in London) had a collection last year, but have not been able to trace a retailer (except for Swensk Tenn in Stockholm, but I'm sure they would ship.)<br />Philip--yes, a very good point! This exhibit is at a very fine airport museum...so you can see the show, nibble on a salad, and catch your flight. Great.<br />Heather in Phuket--you are right, heaven on earth!<br />Ingela in Sweden--thank you for your informative note. Yes, in Sweden, Frank is part of the design vocabulary. In the US, not yet. I love your comment on the history of the shop and this wonderful designer.<br />Thank you to everyone for this brilliant and vibrant dialog. I love every word.<br />cheers, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-80203541222295748472011-04-13T15:00:11.347-07:002011-04-13T15:00:11.347-07:00Oh Diane, I am so pleased to read this post of one...Oh Diane, I am so pleased to read this post of one of my country's absolutely strongest design profiles ever. <br />I've always admired their classic timeless design, it is still today most highly respected and seen in many homes in Sweden. I have to stop by the shop every time I pass to explore the show.<br /><br />Ericsson started her company very young, in the early 20 as a tinsmith of pewter (means tenn in swedish) and 10 years later she invited Josef Frank to join her company, when he was forced to leave Austria during the war. This became a very successful collaboration that lasted for 33 years until Frank passed away 1967. He brought on a very generous design at the time when the strict design of Swedish modernism was popular. <br /><br />Estrid ran her business for 56 years. Svensk tenn was turned into a foundation 1975 (age 81) and she stayed head of the organization another couple of years. The last years before her death 1981, she went back creating in pewter. One strong lady... <br /><br />I'm delighted to read about the Airport exhibition in SF and I will feel much at home the next time I visit.<br /><br />Josef Frank's furniture is of sublime quality and was developed as he returned from New York 1944.<br />Right now I have the pleasure along with a saddler to restore a set of 14 chairs from the period. They are in a extremely good condition and all we have to do is some preserving and polishing.<br /><br />I do enjoy good craftsmanship!<br /><br />My best,<br />IngelaLove Your Homeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851498393111241566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-23125218632977892042011-04-13T03:26:32.288-07:002011-04-13T03:26:32.288-07:00Hi...Diane...

I can recall the first time when I did a double take at the airport in passing the exhibitions there. These are an unexpected surprise and the changing exhibitions are "top-Notch". <br />I loved the furniture designs you highlighted as well,that cabinet on stand and that continuation of the Gustaviansk in those chairs.

A few years ago the fabric section of Liberty in London had a Josef Frank shop, and there was a fabulous chair at Anthropologie a few years ago covered in one of his fabrics.
