Swedish Modern: A Colouring Book of Magical Interiors
Estrid Ericson, Josef Frank & Svenskt Tenn
The company was founded in 1924 by the pioneering design entrepreneur Estrid Ericson and joined ten years later by Austrian designer and architect Josef Frank. Together they created eclectic, elegant and boldly patterned interior design style known as Swedish Modern that has made Svenskt Tenn world-renowned. This colouring book is your invitation to explore their world of magical interiors. (extract from Thames & Hudson)
Together with the editors Janet Coletti and Helene Boström we got commissioned by Svenskt Tenn to art direct and design this beautiful book, a combination of drawing book for design interested and a collection of historical material about Estrid Ericson and Josef Frank. We had to walk on a fine line between Svenskt Tenn’s integrity as a cultural institution and the more commercial aspect of selling books. Swedish Modern is available worldwide through the publishing company Thames & Hudson. Get your colouring pens out, this is great fun!
