Outdoor furniture by Josef Frank
Armchair 591 is a lacquered iron and mesh lattice garden chair designed by Josef Frank in the mid-1930s. This type of tubular steel furniture was popular in the functionalistic style that made its way into Sweden, but it was unusual for Josef Frank, who rarely used iron in his furniture designs.
This summer, we’re furnishing the outdoor space with these timeless outdoor chairs combined with Garden Table 602 in iron and granite and Sofa 311 – a rattan piece handmade in Stockholm, just 1.5 kilometres from the Svenskt Tenn store on Strandvägen 5. While the iron and stone furniture is more resistant to the elements, the rattan furniture needs slightly more protection, and should be placed preferably under a roof or overhang in an outdoor area.
