Svenskt Tenn
Svenskt Tenn is a Swedish interiors and design company founded by Estrid Ericson in 1924, initially as a workshop and retail shop dedicated to pewter. At the heart of the company are the boldly patterned textiles and characteristic furniture designs by Austrian–born designer and architect Josef Frank, who was recruited to join Svenskt Tenn in the 1930s. The company’s sole physical store located in Stockholm, is a pilgrimage for locals and visitors alike–a magical world of interiors where craftsmanship and creativity merge with timeless design. Since 1975, Svenskt Tenn is owned by the Kjell & Märta Beijer Foundation, with the company's surplus supporting scientific research in areas such as ecological economics and medicine.
For the first time, Svenskt Tenn brings its distinctive world of interiors to 3daysofdesign, showcasing a selection of its celebrated furniture, textiles and pewter objects produced over the past century. Welcome to a rare exhibit honouring the legacy and interior philosophy of Svenskt Tenn founder Estrid Ericson and architect and designer Josef Frank. The showcase takes place in a residential apartment in Christianshavn, the crafts district of 3daysofdesign—emphasizing Svenskt Tenn’s long–term commitment to high–quality craftsmanship and the touch of the human hand in design. Representatives from Svenskt Tenn’s Contract and Press teams will be on–site for individual trade and media appointments during and outside of public opening hours.
