Josef Frank: Cabinets and Commodes

Josef Frank is said to be the Austrian who raised Swedish design to new heights. Frank  is said to have felt that standardised designs would render humans bland and all the same.

 

Frank's perspective on Swedish design brought human warmth by incorporating features of nature into his work via colour, depictions, material and form.

Frank's take on interior design focused on rooms that were clear, free and breathable. This is reflected in his cabinets that are all mounted on high legs.

Frank's designs ranged from the 1950s up until his death in 1967.
