Rug Frank Nr 19
Rug Frank No. 20
Rug Frank No. 20, originally designed in the 1930s–1940s, was introduced to Svenskt Tenn’s range for the first time in celebration of its centenary in 2024. The decorative pattern, featuring rings and dots in a variety of colours, beautifully reflects Josef Frank’s approach to rug design—often inspired by stone-paved terraces adorned with abstract motifs.
Josef Frank's Rugs
Josef Frank's personal expression and sense of colours and patterns have given rise to timeless prints. He is well-known for his imaginative, botanical motifs, but when he composed rugs, his philosophy was different.

Manufacturing Rug No 20
Hitex was founded in 1982 in Blekinge. Here, rugs are manufactured using tufting – an ancient, traditional technique that has entered the future with the implementation of self-developed, precise, and flexible robots. The production at Hitex is conducted on a small-scale, with a focus on exclusive, high-quality custom orders.
