happy birthday scandi style

Today google introduced me to Joseph Frank! The google image changed to this great Scandi illustration to celebrate 125 years since Frank's birth.

So I had to look at all the patterns! But there is such an interesting back story. Joseph Frank was an Austrian architect who arrived in Sweden fleeing the Nazi's. In the time of the Bauhaus and the International Style, Frank provided a rich, colourful and decorative style. And his textile and furniture designs with Svenskt Tenn started when he was in his 50's, inspirational!
And now some pics!
