In October I celebrated turning 40 with an amazing trip to Stockholm. And just by chance, to escape the rain we found ourselves in the wonderful world of the Svenskt Tenn showroom. It was love at first sight for me, the furniture, the fabric, the colours and the style. The showroom is just a feast for the eyes, lots of original Josef Frank art work is on display throughout. Interestingly I learned that Josef Frank designed patterns specifically for wallpaper only and patterns that were for fabric only and never interchanged. As well as selling lots of amazing products, Svenkst Tenn is a working interior design studio and I couldn’t resist a peak inside. The client meeting room was round, and the walls were covered in William Morris’s Willow Boughs wallpaper- I guess it all comes from somewhere! Visit if you get chance.
